10 Shocking Real Life Vampire Stories You Won't Believe
5. Don Henrie
The Vampire Emperor, as he affectionately calls himself, may not be the scariest self-proclaimed vampire on this list, but he’s certainly the most well-groomed. You might recognize him from the crappy Syfy show Mad Mad House that only lasted one season. The reality television show pitted ten contestants against one another while living in a house with another group of people who practiced alternative lifestyles, including Henri as the resident vampire.
He’s also appeared on National Geographic, the Discovery Channel and A&E when it’s a slow programming day. His best television appearance was on the Tyra Banks show where he discusses his celibacy and his birth marks falling off.
Henrie claims to suffer from fibromyalgia, along with vampirism, which forces him to sleep in a coffin as a form of sensory deprivation. Yes, we all know that there are better ways to treat the condition, but that wouldn’t match his ruffled collar. He further insists that he must avoid sunlight because he gets poisoned easily, though pictures have surfaced of him in the sunlight.
It’s interesting to note that Henrie is actually a hybrid vampire; he’s both a psychic and sanguinarian vamp.
