Episode 53: The Highgate Vampire Part 3 - A Bloody Good Time

Matt and EJ conclude their investigation of the Highgate Vampire, the alleged bloodsucker who menaced a London cemetery in the 1970s. A riot breaks out, vampire hunters Sean Manchester and David Farrant clash in a duel to see who will be the first to slay the beast, and London police struggle to contain the riots. And, as the would-be slayers' bitter rivalry stretches across decades, the truth of the Highgate Vampire slowly comes into focus. 

Episode 52: The Highgate Vampire Part 2 - A Vampire - Themed Exorcism

Matt and EJ continue their investigation of the Highgate Vampire, the undead monster stalking through a 1960s London cemetery. After a terrifying encounter, Wiccan master David Farrant swears to put an end to the undead menace. But his plans are upended with the arrival of a new face at Highgate: Bishop Sean Manchester, exorcist in training and sworn enemy of all the occult. He blames Farrant and his coven for the vampire and intends to slay it his own way. Who will catch up to the vampire first?

Episode 51: The Highgate Vampire Part 1 - The Magnificent Seven

When we think of vampires, we tend to think of the classic movie depictions: the caped, pointy-toothed, dapper man in the crumbling mansion. They’re gothic villains, things out of romance novels and classical literature. The idea of fanged monsters running around and sucking the blood of hapless victims feels quaint and out of place in our modern, scientific world. 
Which is why it’s so strange that in the early 1970s, a pair of vampire hunters stalked through a London cemetery, stakes in hand, doling out Buffy-style punishment on the undead as they rose from their coffins. But this actually happened, and happened that recently. It’s a story of good versus evil, of Satanic rites, occult societies and bloodsucking beasts set against the counterculture revolution of 1970s London. The lore, legend and truth of the Highgate Vampire will the subject of this series.
