Inside
the Legend: Bloodlust
Vampire
Lore and Mythology
Don’t have anything
new this week. But, provided below is a link to last season’s
“Inside the Legend” for Dead Man’s Blood
for you guys to sink your fangs into.
Dead
Man's Blood
CATTLE
MUTILATIONS
“Cow
drops. Leave it in the sun. Within forty eight hours the
bloat will split it open so clean it’s just about
surgical . The bodily fluids fall down into the ground,
get soaked up, ‘cause that’s what gravity
does. But hey, it could be Satan.”
The killing and maiming
of cattle, under unusual circumstances. Investigation
of cattle mutilation asserts that it is a genuine practice
attributed mostly to predators, natural decomposition,
extraterrestrials, secretive governmental or military
agencies, and cults. Skeptics claim that the “mutilations”
are a misrepresented natural process. One example of how
cattle mutilations can occur was shown through an experiment
done by the Washington County (Arkansas) Sheriff’s
Department. They found that when a dead cow was placed
in a field for 48 hours that bloating, caused by the sun,
led to incision-like tears in the skin and that blowflies
and maggots then cleaned out the soft tissue so that the
carcass looked exactly like those that had been attributed
to satanic cults.
CHUPACABRA
“I
hear there’s a Chupacabra two states over. You go
ahead and knock yourselves out.”
A species of animals that
are associated particularly with Puerto Rico (where it
was first reported), Mexico, Chile, Brazil and the United
States. Translated from Spanish to English the Chupacabra
literally means goatsucker in reference to the creatures
habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock.
DEAN’S
FIRST HUNT
“So
I picked up this cross bow and I hit that ugly sucker
with a silver tipped arrow straight in the heart. Sammy’s
waiting in the car and me and my Dad take that thing into
the woods and burn it to a crisp. I’m sitting there
and looking into the fire and I’m thinking to myself
I’m sixteen years old, kids my age worried about
pimples, prom dates and I’m seeing things that they’ll
never even know, never even dream of. So right then I
sort of…” “Embraced the life.”
GORDON’S
FIRST KILL
“First
time I saw a vampire, I was barely 18. Home alone with
my sister. I hear the window break in her room. I grab
my dad’s gun, run, try in- to get it off her. Too
late. So I shoot the damn thing. Which of course, is as
useful as snapping it with a rubber band. It rushes me,
picks me up, flings me across the room. Knocks me out
cold. And when I wake up: vampire’s gone, my sister’s
gone. Then, try explaining that one to your family. So,
I left home. And then bummed around looking for information:
how you track them, how you kill them. And then I found
that fang. It was my first kill.”
“Killed
my sister? That filthy fang didn’t kill my sister.
It turned her. Made her one of them. So I hunted her down
and killed her myself. She wasn’t my sister anymore.
She wasn’t human.”
