  • Nosferatu (1922) & the Vampire Lovers (1970)
    Sheldon 1 Matthew A. Sheldon Media and Society Andrew Martin 9/27/2014 Nosferatu (1922) & the Vampire Lovers (1970) While watching F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu (1922) and Roy Ward Baker’s the Vampire Lovers (1970) I came to discover that these vampire stories are less about the patriarchal battles of good vs. evil, and more about the repressed sexual battles between a man and a woman within the historical context of its time. Murnau's silent masterpiece Nosferatu is like seeing the vampire movie before it became a trendy pop icon of commercials, jokes, books, and over 100 different films. Nosferatu is still to this day the quintessential vampire film, and its surreal and haunting aesthetics of German Expressionism give off the feeling as if its creators were truly in awe of the legendary material. When reading the article “Dracula in the twilight: Murnau’s Nosferatu” by Judith Mayne, she explores much of the changes that were made when Murnau adapted Nosferatu from Bram Stoker’s 1897 Dracula novel. When listing several of the changes the one change that Mayne seems to directly focus on were Dracula’s central conflict and his relationship to the victims. “First Van Helsing is in no way the protagonist of the film. Instead of a conflict between two patriarchal figures, we have an encounter between a man and a woman” (Mayne, 28). Dracula’s Sheldon 2 famous adversary Van Helsing is reduced from Murnau’s film version and the focus is shifted more towards Jonathan’s beautiful wife Nina. Mayne seems to suggest that Murnau wanted the story to focus less on patriarchal conflicts and explore more of the sexual tension that occurs between Nina, Jonathan and Nosferatu.

  • Hammer's New Blood
    God in the form of the Bible-wielding Puri- tan Weil or the combined force of the town’s officials and schoolmaster, to the usual gory Hammer climax, the action never loses pace. The air of seriousness with which the stories are told also helps to wash away any lingering disbelief felt by the audience. The casts of Twins of Evil and Vampire Circus, particularly Cushing, who attacked every role as though he were playing Hamlet at the Old Vic, clearly believed in what they were doing, and their obvious relish makes the viewer forget (for the most part) the pre- posterousness of the proceedings. In Twins of Evil and Vampire Circus, these dual elements of originality and pac- ing, a common thread throughout Ham- mer’s films, may just be their saving grace.

  • An Examination of Violence and the Lesbian Vampire Narrative
    DEFANGED AND DESIRABLE: AN EXAMINATION OF VIOLENCE AND THE LESBIAN VAMPIRE NARRATIVE Chelsea Graham A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2016 Committee: Piya Pal-Lapinski, Advisor Stephannie Gearhart © 2016 Chelsea Graham All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Piya Pal-Lapinski, Advisor The vampire, like any sort of Gothic monster, operates as a conduit for various societal pressures. However, the vampire is seen as particularly adaptable in how it restructures itself as a figure of fear in multiple time periods. This work examines the various forms and fears the lesbian vampire embodies and why society is continually fascinated with such a figure. One of the key texts in my project is Sheridan LeFanu’s novella, Carmilla, published in 1872. LeFanu’s story predates Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and is one of the first major explorations of the lesbian vampire trope including victimology, seduction tactics, and even popular adversaries. Although there are many adaptations which feature a lesbian vampire, my project will be limited to Scott’s film The Hunger, produced in 1983, and season one of the recent Youtube series, Carmilla, produced in 2014. In these various adaptations, I have noted a cycle of violence surrounding the vampire, her adversaries, and victims. What is interesting is how this cycle seems to change with each adaptation of the lesbian vampire’s story depending on the time the story is set in. What is interesting about this trend of shifting cycles and loci of violence is what happens to them when society begins to accept the lesbian vampire and no longer fears her.

  • Constructions of Femininity in Sixties Popular Culture
    "Mother … is not quite herself today." (Re)constructions of Femininity in Sixties Popular Culture. “Incidentally, did you see that he’s now produced a virus that produces sterility in the male locust? – Admittedly the female locust can go on producing female locusts for a number of generations without male assistance, but one feels that it must tell sooner or later, or there wouldn’t be much sense in sex, would there…?” (Wyndham 1963: 22) §0. The aim of this paper is to see how the issue of femininit(ies) cross-stitches with that of representation in Sixties popular culture. For this reason I shall be looking at those narrative and cinematic texts which I consider representative of the Zeitgeist of the decade, focusing in particular on those which are most profoundly linked to the visual media – and as such to two period-related communication devices, television and colour filming. My attempt at making a cultural sense of the popular productions of the Sixties (and especially of B- genres such as spy thrillers, horror cinema and SF) is obviously profoundly indebted to a reading of the varying cultural, social, historical, political, and economic, scenario of the period, which finds two crucial - and juxtaposing - watersheds first in the post-war upsurge in conservatism and just a few years on in the post-68 revolutionary social trends, which developed as a consequence of (as well as a reaction to) the widespread change in mores triggered by World War II. As far as the issue of the representation of femininity is concerned, the decade presents at least two opposing, yet overlapping trends.

    Subjects of the Visual Arts: Vampires by Michael G. Cornelius Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Max Schreck as Count An invention of the nineteenth-century, the artistic vampire, as opposed to the Orlok in a promotional photograph for F. W. vampire of folklore, is connected not with disease but with sexuality. For authors, Murnau's film Nosferatu. artists, and filmmakers, artistic vampires represent a common sexualized metaphor-- the release of insurgent passion and emotion--that includes such details as the erotic foreplay of vampires' attacks and the creatures' dependency on the bodily fluid of their victims. From its inception, as an outsider within polite society, the artistic vampire has been consistently linked with homosexuality. Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Christabel" (1797) portended a lesbian vampire, while John Polidori's "The Vampyre" (1819) depicted a young man's homosocial desire for the dominant male vampire. While this association pervaded much of the Victorian era, by the beginning of the twentieth century, the sexual vampire gave way to a more horrific image, and the first vampire films, F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu (1919) and Tod Browning's London After Midnight (1925), reflect this trend. Early vampire cinema is remarkably heterosexist, belying the literary tradition that spawned it. The sexual revolution of the 1960s, coupled with the Stonewall Riots of 1969 and a new public awareness of homosexuality, soon altered things, and gay and lesbian themes became commonplace in vampire cinema. The first important homosexual vampire film was Roy Ward Baker's The Vampire Lovers (1970), an adaptation of J.

  • Page 2 Dazzling Ghostland: Sheridan Le Fanu's Phantasmagoria David
    Page 2 Dazzling Ghostland: Sheridan Le Fanu’s Phantasmagoria David Annwn As the third chapter of Sheridan LeFanu’s Uncle Silas (1865), cuts to the fourth, there occurs a most remarkable moment in 19th century literature of horror. Maud Ruthyn, the youthful protagonist, is thinking over her encounters with members of the Swedenborgian religious sect: Two or three of them crossed in the course of my early life, like magic lantern figures, the disk of my very circumscribed observation.(1) She is dwelling on her recent encounter with Mr Bryerly, a Swedenborgian and thinking of her walk with him past her mother’s sylvan tomb and his consoling words regarding the afterlife. Leaning on my hand, I was now looking upon that solemn wood, white and shadowy in the moonlight, where, for a long time after that ramble with the visionary, I fancied the gate of death, hidden only by a strange glamour, and the dazzling land of ghosts, were situate;(2) For a moment, in Maud’s lulled consciousness, it is as though the border between life and death has become permeable, subject to comings and goings. At the turn of the page and chapter, we jump to: ON A SUDDEN, on the grass before me, stood an odd figure—a very tall woman in grey draperies, nearly white under the moon, courtesying extraordinarily low, and rather fantastically. I stared in something like a horror upon the large and rather hollow features which I did not know, smiling very unpleasantly on me; and the moment it was plain that I saw her, the grey woman began gobbling and cackling shrilly—I could not distinctly hear what through the window—and gesticulating oddly with her long hands and arms.(3) Does our consciousness, as readers, move in upon the vision here or does this tall image seem to rise out of the land of the dead towards us? Perhaps both simultaneously, because this moment is a nexus of conflicting spatial urges and affronts to these.
