Why do vampire legends still frighten us? Henrique Couto welcomes folklorist and author D.L. Wainright to explore Romanian strigoi, Dracula, graveyard rituals, and New England vampire beliefs. This Folklore Friday conversation follows garlic, sunlight, shapeshifting, and a party guest hiding a disturbing secret beneath the table. Along the way: Ohio's Butter Street Monster, La Llorona, Slender Man, werewolves, and Halloween traditions. Discover how familiar monsters change as we share their stories—and which old fears still follow us into spooky season.
