Well, I don't know much about the subject, but I think that there are plenty of origins for myths about Vampires and Werewolves that were eventually collaborated by people like Bram Stoker to create a book or film about them... There were lots of stories about blood-drinking humans and evil people and the undead and such throughout history... one of the most interesting things that I do remember was that at certain times, people would go into comas (or a similar state), be mistaken for dead, and be buried alive... they would then proceed to dig themselves out of a shallow grave and come back to town, taken for a zombie, and killed on the spot...
As for me, I need to feed... gotta score me some blood... er, breakfast...
