Does a vampire walk in Highgate? This week, we take a look at the vampire story, which became the urban folk horror sensation of the early 70s. The setting: the crumbling Victorian splendour of Highgate Cemetery in London, where a seven-foot-tall ghoul with a burning gaze is said to stalk lonely passers-by. But what is this creature? Is it a vampire woken by the black magic rituals performed at night in the cemetery grounds, or is it a spirit trapped forever in the bounds of the graveyard?
