Different kinds of vampires have popped up in history in various places around the world, usually independently of each other. They're the quintessential boogyman, or at least a quintessential boogeyman.

Whether you look at the Chinese Jiang Shi (absorbs life force instead of blood), or the Nosferatu of Slavic lore who's known to look quite hideous or the traditional European vampire that Dracula is based on, you'll find different vampire lore from almost everywhere in the world.
