Abstract
In this paper we will discuss a demonstration we have been performing for years; not only with physics students from our university (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela), but also with high school students in some talks aimed at encouraging them to study science. It is related to Brewster's angle and its visualization in an ingenious way using a "loaded" LCD monitor. In some way, this experiment is a reverse version of what happens when a vampire faces a mirror and sees no reflected image of himself.
