I just found out this classic song is about vampires

Postby Netherrealmer » 05 Aug 2025, 13:38



Total Eclipse of the Heart was written by Jim Steinman for a Nosferatu musical. It was a musical about Dracula but he cant finish the script so he turns a song about Dracula seducing a woman into a love song. The music video is about Bonnie Tyler playing the role of a teacher who is secretly in love with one of her students. The real context of the song is Dracula telling a woman to turn around so he can seduce her and drink her blood.

The Vampire musical eventually happened years after the song becomes a hit.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious if you watch the video. It looks vampire related.

Lol people do sing songs about all sort of things, but do you think vampires do exist? Or just a myth.

They exist but not in paranormal way. There are people with a mental condition that gives them blood fetish so they drink blood. It wont make them immortal. They just drink or bathe in blood.

Dracula is based from Vlad the Impaler. A prince who impales people to death and he uses their blood to build his castle.


The Dracula castle is real but no magic or whatsoever




The other vampire is Elizabeth Bathory, A Princess who kills her maids and bathe on their blood in hopes it will make her young.

Oh wow, I wasn't aware of this, i have always thought they are myths made by storytellers from their imagination, or maybe actual supernatural beings, did not expect it to be based on these people you mentioned above.

They exist but no immortality and powers. They are just people with mental condition that craves blood. The novel Dracula just gave them powers.
