"They’re Alive: Real Scientific Reasons to Believe in Vampires, Werewolves, & Zombies"

We're all nice, semi-sane people, who loves to watch horror movies and ponder the what-if's, but we all know those scary monsters couldn't ever really exist...or could they?  Super awesome site Neatorama (subscribe to their feed if you haven't already) has posted a very interesting article orginally published by Mental Floss magazine (which also boasts a sweet feed to which you should subscribe).

The topics covered in this article are:

• Dracula vs Cujo
• The Madness of King George
• Teenage Werewolf
• Dawn of the Dead, Revisited

While most of us have been brought up thinking it was just old wives' tales and the like that 'created' these creepy creatures, author Matt Soniak details how science, surprisingly enough, may be just as guilty at bringing life to the undead and their fellow monsters.  Check out the full article and then venture on over to Mental Floss and Neatorama for more awesomeness.
