About this Event
Follow tour guide and horror writer David Turnbull through darkened alleys and across busy thoroughfares on an exploration of London's vampires in literature, theatre, movies, folklore and urban myth. Prowl the street where the undead walk and the blood suckers stalk. Discover Varney the Vampire, Carmilla, Lord Ruthven, the stage adaptations and the classic films of Universal, Hammer, and others. Not forgetting the Lord of the Night himself, Count Dracula, and the actors who played him. Along the way delve into ancient vampire lore and modern legend.
This is a circular walk which starts at the Lyceum Theatre with tale of John Polidori and his Vampyre which became the first to have a theatrical interpretation and end back at the Lyyceum with Bram Stoker and the creation of Dracula.
Protective Garlic supplied to all attendees.
