The primary focus of this blog is to track my work in the world of vampirology -that is- the study of vampires and how they are used throughout history. I am a historian by trade, and thus I use the historic method for most of my work.

Although I look at everything from folklore to literature, my primary focus is on film and how vampires changed in cultural diffusion and interpretations on the screen. I feel it necessary to do so, as the world of vampire films, though surprisingly more detailed than I initially believed, has much more to offer in terms of analysis. As film is an ever-expanding part of academia, I hope that blogs like these have an affect on the field as a serious discipline of study.

Why Vampires?

Education

I received a Bachelors in History from the prestigious Jesuit Regis University. I attended for four years, and truly began my explorations into vampire film and vampirology here.
