The Vampire Princess

The Vampire Princess is an interesting feature from Smithsonian Channel that revisits Bram Stoker's Dracula story. This documentary style show looks at Stoker's story in a different light, investigating whether the monstrous Dracula was truly based on the feared Transylvanian, Vlad Tepes, or whether the monster was in fact a woman, a beautiful Czech princess. The Vampire Princess takes us on a journey through eighteenth century Czechoslovakia, investigating the Princess Eleonore von Schwarzenberg and the story of her life. Watch as archaeologists and forensic scientists re-open her final resting place, a royal grave in Czechoslvoakia, looking for clues to solve the vampire mystery. Will evidence uncovered in this dark grave yield results? Is it possible that a woman could have been the feared vampire of Stoker's story? A spooky look at one of the most well-known horror characters in human history, The Vampire Princess may alter all you think you know about Dracula. MORE
