Since September, a vampire scare has triggered mob violence in Malawi that has killed at least eight people accused of being bloodsuckers. The vampire rumors appear to have originated in neighboring Mozambique, although it’s not clear what sparked them.

Malawi?

Don’t feed them after midnight.
Don’t get them wet.
Don’t expose them to sunlight.

Some of the world is still in the medieval days and we are taking refugees from these places.

Real good.

Apparently vampires have no power over them either.

(I thought they couldn’t do sunlight only after they had eaten after midnight.)

Consequently, as a kid, when I saw this movie, I felt compelled to figure out what time zone the movie was in. It occurred to me that these little pets must have come from Asia. How they know when “after midnight” was. I remember thinking, “I would NOT travel with those things.”

The “scare” hasn’t murdered people. Other people (idiots) murdered people.

America is sending spacecraft to Pluto and curing every disease on earth and Africa is still burning vampires alive under ‘majority rules’ mobs of anarchy. Lovely.
