CASTLEVANIA SAGA OVERVIEW Loosely based on Dracula folklore, the Castlevania series was one of the progenitors of the gothic-horror genre in videogames. The earlier games were platformers focusing on the exploits of the whip-wielding, vampire-hunting Belmont Clan as players struggled to eliminate every last trace of the supernatural from this world. The series saw a large change when it made the leap to the 32-bit era with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. That game introduced what has been dubbed the "Metroidvania" style of gameplay (due to its similarities to the Metroid series), as well as RPG elements such as hit points, level progression, and spell casting. This formula has further been expanded with the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS iterations in the series. Castlevania is unquestionably one of the most consistently jaw-dropping franchises in the history of videogames.

A doctor named Lisa Tepes treats a patient in her home medical facility. Suddenly, a group of angry priests led by a Bishop show up at her front door and accuse her of practicing witchcraft. With the blessing of the village’s inhabitants, they violently remove her from her home and burn her at the stake. Dracula magically appears before the villagers and warns them he will return in one year to exact his revenge for the killing of his wife. After Dracula gives this message to the people of Lupu through a magic mirror, a shadowy figure advises him not to harm the innocent people who had nothing to do with Lisa’s death. Dracula strikes the figure, possibly killing him… A year later in the city of Targoviste, the inhabitants listen to the Archbishop mock Dracula and celebrate the one-year anniversary of Lisa Tepes’death. Dracula once again emerges, but this time releases his monstrous minions onto the city. All Hell breaks loose and everyone is fair game: men, women, and even children. The Archbishop meets his demise in the onslaught. Dracula then instructs his evil army to attack all of the other neighboring cities. MOVIE SYNOPSIS CONT’D… Elsewhere, our hero and last of the legendary Belmont vampire hunters, Trevor Belmont, staggers out of a bar and comes across the city of Gresit. Gresit is in the midst of an attack by Dracula’s armies. Fascinated by this spectacle, he draws closer to the main gates and then to the market place square. It is now day time and Dracula’s forces are not present because they only strike at night. People attempt to keep up their daily rituals. After interacting with some of the traumatized population, Trevor is told an old legend of a sleeping hero underneath the city who will awake to save the land when help is needed. Of course, this legend is highly discouraged by the Church. At that moment, Trevor saves an old man being attacked by a group of priest cronies. The thankful old man known as the Elder reveals to Trevor he is part of a group of holy people called Speakers. The Elder takes Trevor back to the Speaker lodgings, an old run down barn, to meet the other Speakers. The Speakers are in hiding because the church publically blamed them for the demon invasion in order to cover up the truth that the church itself is really responsible. The Speakers are generally a nomadic group, but have remained in Gresit to assist her people. The Speakers are also staying because the Elder Speaker’s granddaughter, a Speaker herself, went searching for the sleeping savior underneath the city, but has not returned. Feeling a sense of companionship with the Speakers, Trevor proposes a deal: if he finds the Elder’s granddaughter, the Speakers will leave and go to a safer place. MOVIE SYNOPSIS CONT’D… Trevor travels though Gresit's catacombs to an underground hall. He finds a statue of a woman with Speaker robes named Sypha. He is attacked by a Cyclops that has the ability to shoot stone-turning rays out of its eyes. Trevor kills it with his superior fighting skills. With the defeat of the Cyclops, the statue magically becomes flesh and blood. As Sypha regains consciousness, Trevor convinces her to leave with him and go back to her grandfather. Trevor confronts the village headman known as the Domn and fails to persuade him to protect the Speakers. The Domn claims he is powerless because the city is under the control of the Church. At his last point of hopelessness, Trevor is escorted by some priest cronies and brought to the Bishop who led the killing of Lisa Tepes.

Despite its gothic trappings and origin in sensationalist fiction, Bram Stoker's Dracula, written in 1897, is a novel that looks forward. At the turn of the nineteenth century, Britons found themselves in a world of new possibilities and new perils –in a society rapidly advancing through imperialist explorations and scientific discoveries while attempting to cling to traditional institutions, men and woman struggled to make sense of the new cultural order. The genre of invasion literature, speaking to the fear of Victorian society becoming tainted by the influence of some creeping foreign Other, proliferated at the turn of the century, and Stoker's threatening depictions of the Transylvanian Count Dracula resonated with his readers. Stoker’s text has continued to resonate with readers, as further social and scientific developments in our modern world allow more and more opportunities to read allegories into the text.

    Danièle André, Coppola’s Luminous Shadows: Bram Stoker’s Dracula Film Journal / 5 / Screening the Supernatural / 2019 / pp. 62-74 Coppola’s Luminous Shadows: Bram Stoker’s Dracula Danièle André University of La Rochelle, France Dracula, that master of masks, can be read as the counterpart to the Victorian society that judges people by appearances. They both belong to the realm of shadows in so far as what they show is but deception, a shadow that seems to be the reality but that is in fact cast on a wall, a modern version of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Dracula rules over the world of representation, be it one of images or tales; he can only live if people believe in him and if light is not thrown on the illusion he has created. Victorian society is trickier: it is the kingdom of light, for it is the time when electric light was invented, a technological era in which appearances are not circumscribed by darkness but are masters of the day. It is precisely when the light is on that shadows can be cast and illusions can appear. Dracula’s ability to change appearances and play with artificiality (electric light and moving images) enhances the illusions created by his contemporaries in the late 19th Century. Through the supernatural atmosphere of his 1992 film Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Francis Ford Coppola thus underlines the deep links between cinema and a society dominated by both science and illusion. And because cinema is both a diegetic and extra-diegetic actor, the 62 Danièle André, Coppola’s Luminous Shadows: Bram Stoker’s Dracula Film Journal / 5 / Screening the Supernatural / 2019 / pp.

Overview The vampire is one of the most popular and enduring images in the world, giving rise to hundreds of monster movies around the globe every year, not to mention novels, short stories, plays, TV shows, and commercial merchandise. Yet the Western vampire image that we know from the film, television, and literature of today is very different from its eastern European progenitor. Nina Auerbach has said that "every age creates the vampire that it needs." In this course we will explore the eastern European origins of the vampire, similar entities in other cultures that predate them, and how the vampire in its look, nature, vulnerabilities, and threat has changed over the centuries. This approach will provide us with the means to learn about the geography, village and urban cultures, traditional social structure, and religions of eastern Europe; the nature and manifestations of Evil and the concept of Limited Good; physical, temporal, and societal boundaries and ritual passage that accompany them; and major historical and intellectual periods (the settlement of Europe, the Age of Reason, Romanticism, Neo-classicism, the Enlightenment, the Victorian era, up to today).
