Fang vs Fiction The Real Underworld of Vampires and Werewolves (2003)

Using clips from classic horror films and contemporary interviews this cableTV documentary tries to separate truth from fable in discussing vampires and werewolves a task that often proves impossible After noting that fear of the supernatural stems from mankinds basic terror involving darkness and awe of the moon the film ticks off several documented cases of actual blood sucking and lycanthropy Among those interviewed are weapons experts scientists sociologists and movie buffs as well as a few hardy souls who claim to be genuine Dracula and Wolfman clones Originally slated to air during Halloween weekend in 2003 Fang vs Fiction The Real Underworld of Vampires and Werewolves was moved forward two months as an extended promotion for the upcoming theatrical feature Underworld which of course dealt with the same terrifying subject matter Hal Erickson
