Blodwyn Bludd (b. 1923) was a vampire singer with a bass-baritone voice. He was known as the "Vampire from the Valleys" and was famous for singing to people before biting their neck.

Behind the scenes

  • Bludd might be from Wales, as he is known as the "Vampire from the Valleys".
  • The name is clearly constructed primarily as a play on sanguine sounds, since "Blodwyn" is a girl's name and means "flower white/blessed" in Welsh. The surname, using correct Welsh pronunciation, would lose its vampiric association by sound as it would be pronounced "Bleeth" (th as in 'the', not as in 'teeth').
