Episode 278: Vampire Hunter for the Vatican

The idea that the Vatican might secretly know about vampires fascinates us because it blends two powerful myths: the hidden archives of the Church and the timeless terror of the undead. The Vatican already feels like a place of mystery, with locked vaults, forbidden texts, and knowledge ordinary people are not allowed to see. When we imagine vampires lurking in that hidden history, it suggests that the Church has been battling ancient darkness for centuries… and perhaps still is, in secret. It’s the fear that legends might be real, combined with the thrill that somewhere, someone already knows the truth but refuses to tell us.
