I recall this special that I believe was featured on the Discovery channel some time ago. It told the story of this manic adolescent boy that began this vampire game with some friends of his - the game was to hunt for human souls and devour their blood. However, this game turned deadly when the ringleader began feeding into his own game and influencing the other members to believe that blood had become a neccessity of life for them; they were now somehow different than the typical human - they were indeed vampires; full-blooded vampires - afraid of the light and drawn to the scent of human blood. Any means that would come between their sectarian group or cult, needed to be destroyed - nothing was to breech their 'spiritual bond'. Unfortunately, when the parents of the ringleaders girlfriend objected to her leaving with him, the vampiric-mythology the ringleader had formed amongst his cult permitted the girl to accept her boyfriend's bludgeoning of her mother and father, succeeded by him sucking their blood. As a result of her conditioning to respect the 'sanctity' of their vampiric relationship, a kind of nationalistic pride, she neglected to act and could only look on as her parents were brutally murdered for objecting when it seemed she faced an imminent danger.
What an utter shame it is to see the mythologizing of one young man brainwash an entire crew of people - even convincing a member that his brute force towards the one's that cared for her the most was somehow deserved. O the power words can inspire...
