Vampires at Gallaudet

The Washington Post has picked a class at Gallaudet as one of the oddest college courses in the D.C. region. The class is called Vampires: Their Historical Significance in Literature, Film, and Pop Culture. Here's the description: "This course will examine the phenomenon of Vampirism in verbal and visual culture from various historical periods and from both Eastern and Western cultures including Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Rumania, Russia, Serbia, France, England, Sweden, and the United States."
