Television, Vampires and the Body Television, Vamp ires and the Bod y: Somatic Pathos Milly W illiamson Introd uction (1) One of the most striking of mysterious b od ies in America n television d ra ma b elongs to the va mpire. Once consid ered to provoke fea r, the b ody of the television va mp ire ha s stirred sympa thy w ith its pathos- rid d en recog nition of its ow n ( often g la morously d epicted) monstrosity. Ma ny consid er this sympa thetic d epiction of the va mpire on television to b e a rela tively new p henomenon, pointing to the recent success of Buffy the Vamp ire Sla yer and its sp in- off series, Angel. How ever, the symp athetic vamp ire on US television ha s a much long er history, sp anning much of its existence ( see Note 1) . (2) If American television ha s long b een fa scinated b y the figure of the va mpire, it ha s a lso b een p articula rly d rawn to the fig ure of the sympathetic vamp ire w ho suffers a troubled relucta nce at its va mpiric urg es. The sympa thetic va mp ire, so p op ula r on American television, is a crea ture troub led b y its ontolog y; it is a b eing a t odd s w ith its va mpiric bod y a nd the urg es tha t this body g enerates. This chap ter w ill exa mine why it is that such a fig ure ha s b een so p op ula r. What is it about a b eing tha t is in such conflict with its own b od y that ha s fa scina ted view ers for 50 yea rs? I wa nt to explore this q uestion throug h an exa mina tion of the 1960s d a ytime Gothic seria l Da rk Shad ow s. This show wa s immensely pop ula r w ith viewers a t the time primarily b eca use of its sympa thetically portra yed va mpire, Ba rnaba s Collins, w ho, like his small screen rela tions, is tormented b y his va mpiric bod y a nd app etites. (3) Da rk Shadow s w as a d aytime Gothic soap op era tha t origina lly ra n to a sta gg ering 1225 ep isod es, which a ired on ABC b etw een 1966 – 1971. C rea ted b y Dan C urtis, the show b eg ins w ith the story of Victoria Winters, a young g overness in sea rch of her pa st, w ho tra vels to Collinsport to ta ke up a post at the C ollinwood ma nsion. Victoria find s herself in a typ ically Gothic domestic la nd scap e, a la rg e and lab yrinthine house shroud ed in secret and mystery. Here, Victoria is employed b y Elizab eth Stodda rd Collins, a recluse who ha s b een tricked into b elieving tha t she ha s killed her husba nd. Initia lly, Da rk Shad ow s had no sup erna tural elements, but six months into production, elements of the sup ernatura l b egan to b e add ed . For instance, when Victoria is kidnapp ed, she is sa ved b y the ghost of Josette Collins. La ter w e d iscover tha t D avid Collins, Victoria ’s young and troub led cha rg e, ha s a n immortal p hoenix for a mother w ho tries to recla im him b efore b eing consumed b y fla mes. (4) Broad ca st at 4:00p m w eekda ys, Da rk Shadows struck a cord w ith an aud ience mad e up prima rily of housewives and the young . Initially, Da rk Shad ow s wa s not p opula r enoug h with audiences to secure its future w ith the netw ork a nd the show w as d ue to b e ca ncelled. But when the va mpire Ba rnaba s Collins first appea red in the tw o-hund red - and- eleventh episod e, such wa s his app ea l to view ers tha t the fortunes of the fa iling show w ere instantly reversed. Willia m Pa trick Da y comments that ‘Ba rnaba s’s p op ula rity w as extra ord ina ry’ ( 2002: 36) and the a ctor who pla yed him, J ona than Frid, found himself a t the centre of a g rowing fan follow ing , with the show receiving 5,000 ca rd s and letters a w eek from fans. Because of Barnab as, Da rk Sha dow s become a s pop ula r a s its b etter know n contemp ora ry, Sta r Trek, and by 1970 w as a ttra cting a n a udience of over 15 million view s p er ep isod e, five d ays a w eek (M uir 2001: 293) . (5) Cult following s and fa ndoms for television show s a re often consid ered to b e a recent phenomenon; how ever Da rk Shadows b eca me the first highly pop ular Gothic series, the first da ytime soap to go into synd ica tion ( 1975) and p erhap s one of the first cult television show s. Da rk Shad ow s g enera ted one of the ea rliest television fa n cultures – a fa ndom which p ersists toda y. As Ha rry Benshoff notes, there continues to b e a larg e and a ctive fan culture surrounding this show , which sta rted d uring the initial run a nd ‘continued to g row in strength throug hout the follow ing d ecad es’ (1998: 201). There a re a t lea st tw elve Da rk Shad ow s internet w eb sites in op era tion toda y, offering the va st a rray of a ctivities and information associa ted with fa ndom; M PI Vid eo ha ve sold more tha n 600,000 copies of Da rk Shadows vid eo tap es and D VD s; a nd the cable station, the Sci-Fi C ha nnel still airs re- runs of the show in the US. (6) This enduring pop ula rity is wid ely attrib uted to the va mpire Ba rnaba s, w ho is sympathetica lly d ep icted a s one who is caught in circumsta nces b eyond his control. Such a construction of Ba rnab as rend ers him a pa thos- ridd en creature, not unlike the Gothic heroines who surround him in the series. In her a nalysis of Gothic television, Helen Whea tley a ctually includ es Ba rnab as in a list of the show ’s melod ra matic p rotag onists: ‘the orpha ned young w oman on the verg e of self- discovery (Victoria Winters) , the strugg ling matria rch ( Elizab eth Collins Stodda rd), the confused teenag er (Ca rolyn Collins) , even the reluctant vamp ire ( Ba rna ba s). Each of these cha ra cters ca n b e rea d as a melod ra matic fig ure with whom w e a re encourag ed to id entify … a nd their stories a re constructed to elicit viewer symp athy and engag ement’ ( 2006: 155) . W heatley connects the melod rama tic construction of the key female cha ra cters to the domestic sp here, in particula r the Collinwood house, a nd a rg ues convincing ly that Da rk Shad ow s is a ligned w ith the fema le Gothic in this rega rd. Ba rnaba s too is tied to the C ollinw ood estate. His fa ther imp risoned him in his coffin on the Collinwood esta te, w here he lang uished for tw o centuries. When he is finally freed from this incarcera tion, he d oes not flee the place of his imp risonment b ut he ta kes up resid ence of the Old House. Furthermore, a recurring theme in the narra tive is his d eta iled know ledg e of the house a nd its history. This knowled g e hints b oth a t his uncanny rela tionship with the house and at his long internment there. Ba rnaba s is d estined to ha unt the corridors of this house eterna lly, and is thus a s imp risoned b y the d omestic spa ce a nd its fa milial concerns, a s a ny Gothic heroine. How ever, Ba rnaba s a lso threa tens the domestic spa ce (a t lea st initia lly) when he a tta cks two of the show’s young fema le protagonists; he is the source of fear a nd anxiety associa ted to the domestic spa ce, b eca use his a tta cks occur in the b ed rooms of the young women, rend ering this most p riva te of spa ces unsa fe. In this he differs from the melod ramatic heroine, sugg esting tha t the root of his ( eventually revea led) pa thos is located elsewhere. (7) This chap ter will exa mine the source of Ba rna ba s’ pa thos to sugg est tha t it origina tes, not just in his domestic sta tus, but also in his ontolog ical status; it will a rgue tha t Ba rnaba s’ suffering a nd misery as a va mpire is a tta ched to his embod iment a s a vampire.

  • John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection
    Thousand Oaks Library American Radio Archives John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection Introduction The John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection of the American Radio Archives documents Pickard's career in the early days of Australian radio, as well as the collaboration between Pickard and Provo that lasted nearly 40 years, and resulted in radio programs such as Wendy Warren and the News and Young Doctor Malone, as well as television programs such as Concerning Miss Marlowe and From these Roots. Biographies John Pickard was born on April 6, 1910 in Sydney, Australia. He entered the University of Sydney to study law in 1927, yet also acted in plays as a member of the Sydney University Drama Society. It was during this time that Pickard, intrigued by the new medium of radio, tried his hand at writing a radio play titled The Tomb of Osiris. This work was performed on various stations throughout Australia, and is considered by some to be the first original Australian radio play. By 1931, acting in radio productions had become Pickard's main occupation, and he was considered one of the brightest young actors on Australian radio during his tenure with the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company) Players, whose performances were broadcast on station 2FC in Sydney. He continued writing and directing plays as well, being promoted to the Head of Drama Productions at the Australian Broadcasting Company in 1933. Pickard wrote series such as Crime Club, and also adapted American programs like One Man's Family, in which he substituted Australian settings, situations, and colloquialisms. By 1935, however, Pickard wanted to try something new and left for the United States in August of that year.

    01:510:255:90 DRACULA — FACTS & FICTIONS Winter Session 2018 Professor Stephen W. Reinert (History) COURSE FORMAT The course content and assessment components (discussion forums, examinations) are fully delivered online. COURSE OVERVIEW & GOALS Everyone's heard of “Dracula” and knows who he was (or is!), right? Well ... While it's true that “Dracula” — aka “Vlad III Dracula” and “Vlad the Impaler” — are household words throughout the planet, surprisingly few have any detailed comprehension of his life and times, or comprehend how and why this particular historical figure came to be the most celebrated vampire in history. Throughout this class we'll track those themes, and our guiding aims will be to understand: (1) “what exactly happened” in the course of Dracula's life, and three reigns as prince (voivode) of Wallachia (1448; 1456-62; 1476); (2) how serious historians can (and sometimes cannot!) uncover and interpret the life and career of “The Impaler” on the basis of surviving narratives, documents, pictures, and monuments; (3) how and why contemporaries of Vlad Dracula launched a project of vilifying his character and deeds, in the early decades of the printed book; (4) to what extent Vlad Dracula was known and remembered from the late 15th century down to the 1890s, when Bram Stoker was writing his famous novel ultimately entitled Dracula; (5) how, and with what sources, Stoker constructed his version of Dracula, and why this image became and remains the standard popular notion of Dracula throughout the world; and (6) how Dracula evolved as an icon of 20th century popular culture, particularly in the media of film and the novel.

  • Bram Stoker's Dracula
    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.

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.
