Perhaps one of the most famous vampire stories is Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', which has been the inspiration for numerous films and plays since its original publication in 1897.

After one such adaptation, an unauthorised film adaptation by F. W. Murnau called 'Nosferatu' (1922), the novel's popularity sky-rocketed as a result of attempts by Stoker's widow to have the film removed from public circulation.

Another painting by Edvard Munch for you to sink your teeth into! This is 'Vampire in the Forest'. It was painted between 1916 and 1918, and can be seen in the flesh in the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway.

'Vampire', by Edvard Munch (1895).

Fun Fact: The original painting was called 'Love and Pain', however it came to be known as 'Vampire' after Munch’s friend, the critic Stanisław Przybyszewski, described it as the image of "a man who has become submissive, and on his neck a biting vampire's face."
