ABOUT THIS EPISODE
It’s officially Vampire Week on Amigos, Afraid! 🩸
Jerry leads off with Bram Stoker’s classic Dracula, unearthing the real history, Vlad the Impaler’s brutal reign, and how Gothic fiction birthed the modern vampire.
Then, Brian takes us on a global deep-dive. We start New Orleans with the Casket Girls before revealing an unbelievable connection between Mexico and the Philippines: both share a vampire that detaches its upper body at the waist to fly into the night. This week we compare Mexico's Tlahuelpuchi and the Philippines’ Manananggal.
