Fan Question ~ Why does Mick St John sleep in a freezer?

Welcome to all the new Moonlight fans who are discovering the series on Sci-Fi :) I've already been receiving heaps of emails and comments from you. YEA! Several messages asking why Mick St John sleeps in a freezer instead of a coffin as in most Vampire stories. I watched an interview with Alex O'Loughlin where he discussed the freezer thing. He said the Moonlight vamps had discovered that "their physical bodies decay over time over the hundreds of years" and the cold "slows down that process of decay."

The History Channel ~ Vampires in America

MonsterQuest is a great show on the History Channel. Each episode investigates legends that we all know. They search for any truth behind the stories. Tonight, the show's theme is Vampires in America. Here is the official synopsis......

"A vampire scare in New England in the 1700s lasted more than a century and turned families and communities upside down. The dead bodies of those suspected of vampirism were exhumed and ancient curse-breaking rituals were performed on them. Watch as the latest technology is used to analyze historic evidence of the New England vampires and discover if there was any basis for the panic. Medical science is also used to examine those who believe themselves to be modern day vampires. Is there a common element between the suspected vampires of America's past and present?"
