Vampires and werewolves are often portrayed as existing alongside humans in modern fiction and film. While some use their beauty and allure to form dramatic relationships with human beings, others are untrustworthy monsters determined to prey on ordinary men and women. These shapeshifters and undead beings fascinate us because they embody the dark side of human nature and reflect some of humanity's most primal fears. All of these strange creatures of the night have their roots in stories that have existed for centuries in folklore and mythology.
