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

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! Follow us!
