Thousands of years ago back in the Stone Age, men with bows and arrows used to stalk other men wearing animal skins and head-dresses. They used to mime a successful hunt as a symbolic empowerment over an actual quarry.The year 2000 is to be no different except that this time, human blood is to be spilt.

Do vampires really exist? And most important of all, can a painting make a thing of beauty last forever?
