Vampire Documentary: Little Help Here?
Okay, this has been bugging me for years now, and sparked by a recent re-watching of Bram Stoker's Dracula, I want to end the suffering. Maybe one of youall can help me out.
I am looking for a specific vampire documentary.
When I saw it, it was no earlier than 1995, and was probably more like 1998. I know it could not have been past about 2002 or so. It is likely that it was on the History Channel, though it might have been Discovery.
It was pretty well-done, discussing the history of the vampire myth and giving some biographical details of Vlad "the Impaler" Ţepeş (aka Drăculea), but it was not specifically a biography. It also discussed modern explanations for the myth, such as porphyria.
Sounds like pretty much every vampire documentary ever made, doesn't it? Yeah, thought so.
I have one more identifying clue, though: one of the experts they consulted was an anthropologist (I think he was an anthropologist, I was too busy staring . . .). He was, if I recall correctly, Romanian, and in my recollection he was absolutely, stunningly gorgeous. He was young, pretty, clean-shaven, had very dark hair, bright blue eyes, and a disturbingly sexy little accent.
He made at most a half-dozen appearances, but I remember him to this day.
I have to find out what documentary that was. It has reached the point where the not knowing his name is driving me mad.
Can we find out what it was called so I can see about locating a copy? I want to know if I am remembering him right.
Any recommendations as to where I should post this where vampire documentary fans will see it would be most welcome, too. If I have to, I will work down a list of vampire documentaries, but I would really rather it not come to that; there's only so much voiceover a woman can take.
