Vampires Are Returning To The Limelight

Vampires appeared to be all the rage at one point. Their influence in books and movies was strong, but then, over time, they seemed to take a step away from the limelight and back into the shadows. But thanks to the rising influence of horror in video games and streaming services such as Netflix, vampires are returning to the main stage. And they’re doing so in reboots of old classics. Dracula Dracula is arguably the most well-known vampire of all time, featuring in multiple movies, books, and games. The character has featured heavily all through our lives and has even managed to be the inspiration behind the successful NetEnt slot machine Blood Suckers. 2014 saw Dracula Untold hit screens around the world, proving there’s a determination to bring the famous vampire back to life.
