Back in 1989, the case of the Lesbian Vampire Killer took Australia by storm. There had been a random attack on an innocent victim in Brisbane one night in October, and a man lost his life in the name of drinking blood. When Tracey Wigginton and her accomplices went to trial, stories of vampirism, satanic panic, witches' covens and dark rituals were on everyone's lips. Angelina and Aurora unpack what exactly went down, why the case was such a sensation, and what happened in the aftermath of one of the most brutal murders in Australian history.

Writing and research by Angelina Villeseche.
