(Virtual) The Allure of Vampires with Bill Thierfelder

Vampire stories have captivated people for centuries. Books, games, TV, and film have drawn audiences in with a mix of horror, sensuality, and the appeal of eternal life. The first mention of vampires was over a thousand years ago and since then their legend has become a part of the cultural legend and myth with Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Bela Lugosi’s interpretation of the character, and Anne Rice’s beguiling series of novels living long in the memory. But why have the tales of the undead endured? And what makes them so appealing in the modern day? This program explores the ongoing allure of these powerful creatures.

William K. Thierfelder is an American businessman, academic administrator, and former high jumper who serves as the 20th president of Belmont Abbey College since 2004.
