From Dusk Till Dawn Series Explained - Ancient Snake Vampires

[@stainshield]

I noticed that The Vampires in The TV Show are very different than the ones from The Movie, because it seems like the ones in The Movie have no souls whereas the ones from The TV Show still have souls.

[@RichterPhallos]

Why do you see it that way? Just curious.

[@BIG_MOPPER]

​Idk if I'm right cause I only watched this break down of the series but I think cause amaru absorbed souls of calebru (vamps) and (Carlos)the guy that made a deal with his amaru by selling his soul. ? What do you guys think ? Honestly not being sarcastic.​@@RichterPhallos

[@lupinashton8913]

The creator I believe wanted a more snake like resemblance due to the Aztec resemblance or something to that effect. The person who wrote the show in referring too. And they wanted them more serpent like instead of bat like to fit with the lore and stuff. Lores very interesting especially in the snow.

[@roderick8167]

Yeah the vampires in the movie are just mindless monsters for the most part they seemed to act human to perform for the patrons before feeding but the vampires in the show you are still pretty much yourself except when you get hungry or you get angry then your vampire (culebra) side comes out

[@manganeko2534]

And another thing: two brothers in labyrinth... It sound like mayan myth of jaguar brothers: Xbalanque and Hanahpu!

[@Gangrel442003]

The Gecko brothers were representations of Xbalanque and Hanahpu in the first season

[@claudeyaz]

I always thought that they were a lost boy's reference to the frog brothers who were vampire slayers​@@Gangrel442003

[@Vidar93]

​@@Gangrel442003Which is a shame that Camazotz isn't mentioned or used since he is a bat god that rips off one of their heads in the stories.

[@roderick8167]

Man I wished this show had got a fourth season I was all into this show and I was bummed when this show didn't get a fourth season also this show was how I was introduced to Eiza Gonzalez before she started being in a whole bunch of movies

[@coganLollins]

I know! a fourth season would have been great to close off the show and tie up all the loose ends

[@jaredrobinson7071]

I was real young when I watched the first movie, Man guitar still got me fucked up. But these are some really interesting vampires I love the unique lore.

[@angelaholmes8888]

I absolutely enjoyed the tv series it was very intriguing i liked how much they explained the mythology

[@scottduncan5525]

maybe Malvado was the snake that went into her mouth, as weird as that sounds. and before anyone says it's the same snake in the vase they find, no the 2 snakes are completely different looking. and given the lords have a special snake inside them, maybe he shed his human form in order to transform her. plus when we see her coming back to the temple, she almost looks possessed, like someone else was in the driver seat at the moment

[@Solkard]

Or it was his snake, if they can control them like familiars.

[@ryanmahaffie329]

So I think my take on the snake venom affecting vamps in this show is that; since most snake venoms attack red blood cells and clotting, if that gets into the stomach of a vampire, it's not going to go well. Their digestive systems are probably changed up somewhat, so the venom disturbs THAT process somehow, not their own bloodstream. ... I spend too much time thinking about this stuff

[@Solkard]

Or their bodies change so that blood is absorbed directly into their own circulatory system.

[@ryanmahaffie329]

@@Solkard oh I like that, too

[@mathiascroqvist4719]

"It's a goddamned disco ball again." That line literally killed me with laughter!

[@mysteryman4013]

Our sweet Cogan has blessed us with more scrumptious vampire lore

[@mysteryman4013]

Cogan my boy. Can you please make some more videos covering the world of darkness or vampire the masquerade universe? They just released information about bloodlines two and making videos up to its release in fall of 2024 might not be a bad idea.

[@coganLollins]

I have covered the first bloodlines, when they release the second I will DEFINITELY cover it

[@mysteryman4013]

@@coganLollins thanks mate. You are incredible at covering these topics

[@xavierzabie8184]

This is great I love this. Definitely makes me want to watch it again. A few problems: 1. Xibalba is the Mayan underworld. Supernatural places like that tend to have rulers and tend to be their own entity in of themselves. Hades is a good example. Also, remember in a lot of federal court cases it's [X person] vs The United States. A place can be sued as well as make decision's too. 2. The whole point of the poisoning was that they aren't human still. So they can be affected by things that humans are not affected by. Aka snake venom being ingested as opposed to injected into the blood stream. Also it just paralyzed them so that they could be killed if I remember right. 3. I could've sworn there was a whole half an episode where they explain Malvado's role in the ritual. I think it was with the replacement that he tried to make of Santanico. Could be wrong, hence why I'm watching it again. 4. Carlos got the ability to never die by drinking the ancient blood at the end of season 2. 5. Opinion here - good the professor is in Xibalba, he's both always wanted to go and deserves to be there. Incase you missed all the messed up stuff he did in season 2.

[@manganeko2534]

Interesting is that this series is strongly inspired by Mayan and Aztec myths, where is one of few true vampire bats in mythology! And of course this vampires aren't bats XD

[@Chuck_EL]

I like the serpent approach to the vampires since the Mayan and Aztec gods and goddess are mostly snakes or some type of reptile I know there's a few feline gods and goddess as well which still fits

[@jessicacarranza4010]

⁠@@Chuck_EL Such as Quetzalcoatl

[@Mokiefraggle]

@@Chuck_EL I don't think there's all that many deities that are linked to snakes in Aztec or Mayan myths. Do people associate the Aztecs or Mayans quite strongly with serpent iconography? Yes, because it's a strong motif in some of the major temples, but I don't think they're any more noteworthy to their myths than they are in others. There's plenty of serpents (and serpent-like dragons) in Greek myth, the Yamata no Orochi of Japanese myth, etc. Like, there's Quetzalcoatl (the quetzal-feathered serpent) and his Mayan counterpart Kukulkan, who actually take the form of snakes instead of a human form, and there's Coatlicue ("she who wears a skirt of snakes"), who was the mother of the sun god Huitzilopochtli, but there's not a particularly noteworthy amount of deities who have a snake iconography or are strongly associated with snakes, even if they have the root word "coatl" (serpent) in their names. There's an iconography of jaguars, birds, and skeletons (or other representations of the dead, since the agricultural god Xipe Totec is often shown as a skinned man wearing another's flayed skin) that's as strong or stronger than the link to snakes among the Aztecs, and the Mayans have a literal god of bats in Camazotz.

Man cogan is the goat of vampire videos hands down

[@Sijo2]

Thank you Cogan for your explaination of From Dusk Til Dawn the series. This is my favorite tV series. I love take the time to explain each detail in every video you cover. Your explaination of the show now makes a lot of sense. I like how you fill in the gaps that alot of us miss when watching. By far your best explaination covered series

[@mrtso3568]

I was wondering when you'd start looking into the From Dusk Till Dawn Vampires, it's interesting looking at the Aztec Vampires cause we all know about the European versions of Vampires, Also Can you look into the Lore of The Interview with a Vampire versions next that'd be awesome 👌

[@Gfish17]

I wonder what African vampires are like?

[@Chuck_EL]

​​​​@@Gfish17there's one called Obayifo from the Ashanti tribe which is the origin of Vodun /voodoo Then the Egyptian vampire goddess Sekhmet And a pretty awesome one is the God Adze who turned people into warlocks and witches , whom are also vampires or dhamphirs (half human half vampires)who serve the adze they even turn into huge fire birds and can take on any forms including elements like fire and water It seems most vampires in their lore is also the origin of witches and warlocks which is very awesome

[@BlackEnchantress]

@@Chuck_ELThe Goddess Sekhmet was not a vampire she is a Lyran deity with a Feline Lioness head. Cats and Serpents are not of the same species in the animal kingdom.

[@Marveryn]

@@BlackEnchantress her vampire aspect come from one of her legions. she is set down to punish human and leave the world in blood as she thirst after getting her kills till she finally calm down (am short hand the story I know its not exactly accurate)

[@Mokiefraggle]

@@BlackEnchantress Mythologists have pointed to the myth of Sekhmet being a possible starting place for some aspects of the vampire myth, as she was sent down to destroy humanity for betraying the gods, and took such pleasure in drinking their blood that she didn't stop until the gods flooded the Nile with liquor dyed red to look like more blood. That unquenchable blood-thirst certainly gives her a place in some of the formative steps toward vampires, even if she herself is not one. Also, nobody was linking her to the Culebra vampires of the From Dusk 'Til Dawn TV series, so what made you jump to the comment about cats and serpents? There's literally no links to the two in this conversation.

[@ellaberintodejuan0524]

There’s this videogames called “Evil West” that has vampires as the enemies. It would be cool for you to cover it possibly one day

[@fudgin7778]

Solid proposal, I had a lot of fun with this game.

[@chew8087]

I loved this show so much. I haven’t seen it in a while, I guess I’ll have to rewatch it

[@Targaryenprincess1]

Me too

[@wintersking4290]

So, so many references to Aztec and Mayan mythology in this story it's nuts

[@Lonewolf1997dark]

It's about time I actually get to watching this tv series.

[@brandonmyers5448]

Me to this show looks awesome

[@paleontologico]

Xibalba is the Mayan Underworld.

[@santinoaguilar8601]

Yes it is

[@kelsey2333]

This is one of the many good shows that got canceled before it could conclude 😢

[@chameleonknight4394]

Thank you for finally doing this! I've been throwing it at you for months. Thank you!

[@TheOnlyHBIC]

2:57 Amaru is my name!! 😂 that made me jump I wasnt expecting that

[@bobmathis-friedman6742]

Dusk Till Dawn the series is one of my favorite vampire-themed shows; BTW, my impression is that the Priest *was* Malvado

[@gerbaldo90]

I've seen the trilogy. But am watching it this weekend with my son to his first ever time. Can't wait for his reaction.

[@greenkoopa]

Haven't seen the 3rd yet but the 2nd one is stupid 😀 It's still entertaining tho don't get me wrong

[@reddittron9622]

I really enjoy this show, wished they had done more seasons

[@kimseiberling5263]

I’ve been waiting for this one. Hope you liked the series Cogan.

[@encognitusmaximus7598]

Cogan comes in clutch with another video!

[@BIG_MOPPER]

When cogin said that some even believe it had to do with aliens and showed a clip of the dude with the crazy hair from the show ancient aliens had me dead bro😂😂

[@MJ-gm5sl]

It is worth noting that the idea of ​​vampires as snakes appeared in The Lair of the White Worm a 1988 supernatural horror comedy loosely based on the 1911 Bram Stoker novel of the same name, it follows the residents in and around a rural English manor that are tormented by an ancient priestess after the skull of a serpent that she worships is unearthed by an archaeologist. I recommend it as a fan of vampire films

[@gunnyakdo1653]

The bath scene was mean

[@Dropsey818]

that TV series is great, watched it all. recommended

[@franciszaldivar337]

Not bad, just Xibalba is pronounced "She-Bal-Ba" (at least in Spanish), and Culebra is pronounced "ku-le-bra" (speaking as someone who is half-Mexican)

[@orangutancoochie6213]

Was just gonna mention this lol hearing it pronounced coo-lee-bra is crazy 😂😭

[@jahmarcuslockhart]

🎉

[@franciscorafaelmontielpale7854]

As someone who is Guatemalan, your pronunciation is spot on my friend.

[@geraldhand5047]

You can drink snake venom, but if you have bleeding ulcers, or some other open wound, like a perforated esophagus could cause it to possibly kill you

[@GreatGreebo]

Thank you Cogan. Excellent video (your disco ball comment had me rolling 🤣)

[@coganLollins]

Glad you enjoyed! I was happy I finally got the chance to cover this TV show

[@KingBearmane]

19:50 That's probably what they meant by Malvado changed her. He shape shift into the priest.

[@jasontodd6779]

I think you should do a video on the show "Supernatural" it has 15 season but you only need to watch the first 5 season. It a long tv show but the world building and the supernatural being are worth it.

[@MalindaPC]

I wanted this to keep going! I loved it!

[@kenzogrenas7084]

nice video. hope you do also the werewolves from the series The Order :)

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the amazing video ❤

[@iusedyourtowel6765]

They're trying too hard to create a concrete, logical mythology ... almost science-y. Nothing will beat that illogical dream feeling that the original movie had. There's nothing logical about exploding vampires by shooting the human on which they're feeding, yet it's horrifying and weird and awesome.

[@AmaanHasanDilawar]

Next do a video on The Strain

[@JunkyCarrot]

But.. he’s already done that..

[@JunkyCarrot]

He’s also done a video about the 7 ancients from The Strain. You can find both videos on his channel

[@jordanhogans8482]

First two seasons are my favorite

[@MrJaycrow30]

Loved this! Have you ever read 'The Necroscope/Vampire Wars series by Brian Lumley? By far THE most terrifying vampires in all of modern fiction ever! The source of all 'were-creatures' are explored in depth; plus the hero of the series, Harry Keogh, has powers that transcends time and space, so cool!! And they now have the rights to make a TV/movie series from his material!! Kinda if Constantine and Game of Thrones had a baby, lol! Would be so awesome to see more of Lumley's work explored, plz and thx! cheers

[@davidlivermore6431]

Definitely great source material for a movie series, just hope if it's ever done the writers completely rewrite it

[@wintersking4290]

Seems connected to the real Aztec myths of Coatlique or she of the serpent skirt. an important Aztec goddess who was the mother of the war God huitzilopochtli and goddess of blood.

[@BelmontClan]

You forgot about that one particular shape shift in the first movie. When sex machine is turned he beastial form is like a rat faced skinny wolf with mainge. You also forgot about other mentions of the 3rd dusk till Dawn movie. Since it was a prequel and santanica was first named Esmirelda by her father. Esmirelda is turned by her mother and her grandmother’s blood. It helps to remember all 3 of the movies.

[@Mokiefraggle]

He's already done two videos covering the movies, though. This was strictly meant to focus on the TV series, which diverges pretty strongly from the films outside of some broad strokes of plot from the first one.

[@ShadowCthulhu]

Ooh, I love the series, glad it had an actual ending too. I think the series was well donbe, I did miss that inconsistency about Santanico. Maybe When they threw her into the pit it was Malvado that changed her by sending that snake? I should watch the series again, glad I got the blu-rays. Carlos might have made a deal with Amaru which is why he could not help Richie directly or one of the other Gods in the underworld.

[@furrymen]

im TERRIFIED of snakes but i keep coming back to this i love the snake vampires concept so much

[@Kurtsg10]

I watched the first season, but it got too convoluted for my tastes to make me want to buy the remaining 2 seasons. Thank you for explaining it all @cogan lollins!

[@ianmpena]

Can you cover American vampire comic and shiki anime

[@kenshinhimura-xe1jl]

Malvato in Spanish means like wizard,magician vibes so maybe that's how he has something to do with it

[@AkinokazeHaruichiban]

Presuming that they don't drink blood via their fangs, which would be implied by them drinking it from goblets, then their being able to be killed by drinking snake poison does make sense given the direct connection between their stomachs and their own blood [if the purpose of drinking blood is to replace their own, at least.]

[@jolfer1334]

I was surprised how good this show was

[@ruxcooking]

Excellent video as usual. Just a little thing. Culebra is supposed to sound more like cooh-leh-brah in spanish

[@Delicious.Meiloorun]

i never saw the movies or the series but i want to. Theory: could Malvado influence the priest to turn Santanico with his powers behind the scenes?

[@darkservantofheaven]

I loved this show I want to watch it again

[@joesees1584]

Amontio influenced the priest to turn Santanico into a Culebra.

[@WilliamAmbervein]

22:38 I mean I guess if you need blood to live and you drink it, the venom can fuck with the blood already in their system.

[@NinaFelwitch]

The TV show is great. They managed to capture the movie perfectly in my opinion and I enjoyed the additional lore.

[@proffesordickfacejr.4886]

I lost my vinkee in an unfortunate smelting accident lol love it

[@daniellewillis2767]

Thank you SO much for this deep dive into one of my favourite shows. At least this one got more than the one maddening cliffhanger ending season the also excellent Blade series got. (Hint, hint...)

Thank you for covering this series. Great video and super informative. One thing: the name is pronounced ‘koo-lay-bruh’ and more closely translates to ‘cobra.’

I loved this show because of the different take on vampires.

[@LilLingLing6789]

[@ChrundleTGreat]

From Google: Santanico Pandemonium (formerly known as Esmeralda) (portrayed by Salma Hayek in the first film and Ara Celi in the third) is the 102 year old vampire queen and main attraction as an exotic and seductive dancer at the Titty Twister.

[@Vandelberger]

This was probably the only series keeping El Ray channel going. It be interesting if Rodriguez and Tarantino could show their films on it on loop. I found the lore changes pretty interesting, but it seemed to get bogged in lore rather than telling an interesting plot.

[@kai_plays_khomus]

I used _poisonous_ and _venomous_ interchangably for quite some time before I realized the distinction - in my mother language there isn't such, only "giftig" for both poisonous/venomous respectivly "Gift" for both poison and venom. 😅

[@scottduncan5525]

can you do a video on the 2017 Mummy? i only ask because the Dark Universe is Kind of Returning

[@dfailsthemost]

Solid show. Not perfect, but I dug it.

[@vincentlee8860]

What I believe is that mavado snake was the one that went into santanico. Since he was an elder. He could survive without his snake for sometime. Then they removed it and put it back in him.

[@Dre-yd2xh]

can you do the vampires from the 2007 show moonlight?

[@ConnorHelbig]

I wish that was on Netflix or Hulu

[@Dualbladedscorpion7737]

I think that vampire lord who claims to be the one that turned that woman (for the life of me, I can't pounce her name) into a vampire queen was that priest or at least dressed up as that priest (or maybe possessing him or mind controlling him him somehow) Also, I wonder if a Culebra could consume Culbra blood from another Culebra and again the unique powers from that Culebra that has those unique powers

[@KAZ3EM]

Good research and cool clip. I love this Videos for bedtime! Most the time after 5 min. I'm gone to dreamworld and was lucky so far not dreaming of that stuff!

[@discreteloner9573]

I remember at the end of season 3, the ending focused on Amaru's necklace which was picked up by someone. I think it has special ability to do something. Maybe open a portal to another realm.

[@arrow1414]

I can overlook the alleged vampires shouldn't be poisoned by snake venom because humans aren't because plenty of things in vampire lore that hurt and even kill vampires but are harmless to humans (at least if it isn't in massive doses).
