    In this episode of Team Huddle, we're sinking our teeth into the captivating world of vampires! Join us as we explore how these legendary creatures have not only terrified but also enchanted audiences for centuries. We delve into the rich history of vampire myths, from their ancient origins to Bram Stoker's iconic "Dracula."
