The thought of these people living off the grid and quietly claiming their victims has a certain unsettling quality to it that makes it perfect for the genre. Yet, sometimes it seems that this trope is not totally confined to fiction. Back in the 1960s there was one such town in Mexico, populated by a cult of vampire killers and a place you would not likely want to visit. It is a story of murder, rituals, ancient gods, and a rags-to-riches tale of the woman who would rule them all as a vampire goddess. The woman who would go on to be known as The High Priestess of Blood did not start out as particularly evil, but she did have a hard life. Magdalena Solis was born in the 1930s to a very poor family and grew up in a filthy, impoverished slum of Monterrey, Mexico. To help her dysfunctional, dirt poor family make ends meet, Magdalena took to walking the dark streets at night as a prostitute from a very young age, usually shadowed by her brother Eleazar, who also happened to be her pimp. It was not an ideal environment to grow up in to say the least, and Magdalena saw and experienced things that no young girl should see, but she was not a particularly malevolent person just yet, mostly just a scared youth who had been dealt a bad hand in life. In 1963 not much had changed for Magdalena, but she was about to have her life take a steep turn for the sinister. In the nearby town of Yerba Buena, two brothers and petty criminals by the names of Santos and Cayetano Hernandez had started up a bit of a scam with the poor and illiterate locals. ![]() Somehow, they had tricked the populace into thinking that they were prophets for ancient Incan gods, and they deemed themselves to be the high priests of a cult devoted to worshiping them. The locals greatly feared the Hernandez brothers, who they believed to have vast supernatural powers, and so they paid tributes with the little money they had. To give the people some sense of hope and make control easier, the brothers promised that there were ancient treasures buried in the mountains, and that they would share these riches with the people when they found them, but mostly they kept the townsfolk in an iron grip, no better than slaves.
