Iron and Myth 50: The Blood is the Life - Vampires in Hollywood (and the Bible)

About this episode

The episode discusses the depiction of vampires in Hollywood and their historical and biblical contexts.

THE BLOOD is the life. It’s a memorable line from the classic 1939 film Dracula. It’s also a reference to Genesis 9:4–6 and God’s prohibition on the shedding of human blood. The vampire, of course, survives by violating that prohibition on a regular basis. This month, our Iron and Myth crew—Doug Van Dorn ( DouglasVanDorn.com ), author of Battle for the Bible’s Truth, and award-winning screenwriter Brian Godawa ( Godawa.com ), best-selling author of the new novel Daniel: Exile in Babylon—discuss the depiction of vampires by Hollywood, their historic descriptions in ancient texts, and the surprising appearance of vampires in the Bible. Sadly, our friend Dr. Judd Burton ( BurtonBeyond.net ), author of Interview With the Giant, was unable to connect due to technical problems. We promise to have that corrected for next month!
