Creature in legends and horror stories in sentence

As we all know the vampire is a strange creature in legends and horror stories and is said to come out of graves at night to suck the blood of people. Do vampires really exist? They exist in the world but not in that horrid, human form as popular fiction illustrates them to be. Biologically they are blood sucking bats which prey on animals, birds and sometimes attack people.

How vampires have come to be an interesting topic of discussion is itself interesting story. The word ‘vampire’ uttered at the dead of night is enough to make anyone recoil in horror. But why? Fictional stories and films present vampires in human form which keeps the audience frozen with fright. Usually in fiction, a human vampire lies inside a coffin with blood oozing from either corner of his mouth.
