Salt Lake City, Utah – Today's popular vampires range from the comical Count on Sesame Street to the sexy Edward of the Twilight novels. But the ultimate vampire icon remains Bram Stoker's Dracula. With his insatiable appetite for blood, hypnotic powers and the promise of immortality at a terrible price, Stoker's Dracula plays on the basic human fears of death and evil. On Friday, we sort through the mythology and themes surrounding this most famous bloodsucker.
