From the Paper:

"Vampires have always been fascinating fictional characters. We were introduced to vampires in Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula." It was the first book to portray a nocturnal being who feeds on the blood of human beings in order to exist. This was the world's first experience with a vampire. It was also turned into a feature film. That movie set the trend for horror movies in Hollywood. A lot of movies have been made which showed vampires in different avatars. Vampires are one of the most recognizable people from horror movies. Movies such as "Dracula" and "Interview with the vampire" have plots which revolve around vampires. TV wasn't left behind with its portrayal of vampires in the critically acclaimed "Buffy the vampire slayer." However vampires have been portrayed as different creatures on the big screen as well as small screen. There are a number of differences between the vampires in the feature film adaptation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" and Anne Rice's Gothic "Interview with the vampire.""
