Wonderful Victorian sets and top-notch performances from Lee and Cushing make this one of Hammer's best.

    CLONES, BONES AND TWILIGHT ZONES: PROTECTING THE DIGITAL PERSONA OF THE QUICK, THE DEAD AND THE IMAGINARY By JosephJ. Beard' ABSTRACT This article explores a developing technology-the creation of digi- tal replicas of individuals, both living and dead, as well as the creation of totally imaginary humans. The article examines the various laws, includ- ing copyright, sui generis, right of publicity and trademark, that may be employed to prevent the creation, duplication and exploitation of digital replicas of individuals as well as to prevent unauthorized alteration of ex- isting images of a person. With respect to totally imaginary digital hu- mans, the article addresses the issue of whether such virtual humans should be treated like real humans or simply as highly sophisticated forms of animated cartoon characters.

  • Sexuality, Blood, Imperialism and the Mytho-Celtic Origins of Dracula
    Droch Fhola: Sexuality, Blood, Imperialism and the Mytho-Celtic Origins of Dracula Author: Joseph A Mendes Persistent link: http://hdl.handle.net/2345/399 This work is posted on eScholarship@BC, Boston College University Libraries. Boston College Electronic Thesis or Dissertation, 2005 Copyright is held by the author, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise noted. 1 Introduction: Dracula. Drac-ula . It is hard to ignore the menace in the name, the morbid delight one gets in pronouncing a name that is riddled with such meaning. At some level, human society is fascinated with the notion of a vampire: a revenant that ret urns from beyond the grave to extract the blood of the living in order to extend its unholy life. It plays on our basic fears as humans, the fear of the dead, the fear of dying, the fear of the unknown, and a fascination with this substance consisting of p lasma, platelets, and cells that runs through our veins. Bram Stoker took all of these fears to new heights when he wrote Dracula , one of the most enduring horror stories to ever be composed. The novel has generated enormous criticism that has chiefly been divided into the camps of Irishness, colonialism/imperialism, and sexuality. Whether it was intentional or not, Stoker’s novel is a breeding ground for almost every sexual fetish, deviance, and perversion that is known to mankind. Characters in the novel engage in mutilation, blood-drinking, perverted fellation, sexual acts in front of their spouse, female domination, male domination, group rape, homosexuality, male penetration, and sadomasochism.

  • 1 Ken Clarke
    KEN CLARKE - MY PROFESSIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY When I left junior school at the age of twelve my plastering career started at the well known building Arts & Craft Secondary School, ‘Christopher Wren’, and from this early age I was particularly interested in fibrous plastering. It was a known fact that, of a class of 16, two of the pupils, after four years of schooling, would start their training at a major film studio. I passed my GCE in Building Craft, Paintwork and Plasterwork (copy 1 attached) and was one of the lucky two to be chosen to start training at Shepperton Studios. This was my first achievement (copy 2 – letter of engagement, 9 June 1964, attached). I started Shepperton Studios in the plastering Dept on 22 June 1964 under conditions of a six-month probationary period and a further 4 and half years. During this five-year apprenticeship, I was to do through the block release system, eight weeks at work and two weeks at Art & Craft College ‘Lime Grove’. At the end of five years I was awarded my basic and final City and Guilds in plastering (basic June 1966 and final June 1968 – copies 3 and 4 attached). This was a big achievement for any young man – for me; it was the beginning of a big career. After my five years I was presented with one of the very last certificates of apprenticeship offered by the ‘Film Industry Training Apprenticeship Council’. Thus, my apprenticeship came to an end. (Letter of thanks and delivery of my deeds and certificate 1 June 1969.

    Lesbianism and the Uncanny in Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla Sergio Ramos Torres Trabajo de Fin de Grado en Estudios Ingleses Supervised by Constanza del Río Álvaro Diciembre 2016 Universidad de Zaragoza 0 Contents Introduction 2 1. The vampire in literature and popular culture 5 1.1 Female vampires 10 2. Lesbianism and the uncanny in Carmilla 13 2.1 Contextualisation 13 2.2 Lesbianism and the Uncanny in Carmilla 16 Conclusion 23 Works Cited 25 1 Introduction The figure of the vampire has been present in most cultures, and the meanings and feelings these supernatural creatures represent have been similar across time and space. For human beings they have been a source of fear and superstition, their significance acquiring religious connotations all over the world. The passing of time has modified this ancient horror and the myth has changed little by little, most of the time being softened, giving birth to diverse conceptions and representations that differ a lot from the evil spawn – originating in myth, legend and folklore – that ancient people were afraid of. These creatures have been represented not as part of the human being, but as a nemesis, as the “other”, and as something that is dead but, at the same time, alive, threatening the pure existence of the human by disrupting the carefully constructed borders that civilization has erected between the self and the other, the human and the animal, between life and death. They are, like Rosemary Jackson said, “our relation to death made concrete” (68) and thus, they “disrupt the crucial defining line which separates real life from the unreality of death” (69).

  • 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.

(Le Fanu 242) 1 This is how an anonymous “editor” introduces Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla (1872), framing the novella as a found manuscript. However, over a century after its initial publication, the “clever and careful” narrator Laura did get to add to her story and re-open her conscientious and particular communication through new media: Youtube and the world-wide web.
