Peter Hitchcock, The Long Space: Transnationalism and Postcolonial Form, (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2010): Monsters, Transgression, and Religion in 186. Netfix’s Castlevania Seth Pierce Assistant Professor of Communication and Homiletics, Union College, Lincoln, Nebraska Abstract In 2017, Adi Shankar produced the Netfix adaptation of the video game Castlevania.ThegameandtheNetfix series revolve around Dracula and his horde of monsters battling the Belmont family’s legendary monster hunters. The series is one of the few critically acclaimed video game adaptation created for a major audience. The series was renewed for a second season the day the frst season released, and it has since been renewed for a third season. Producer Adi Shankar has a history of transgressive media stemming from his “Bootleg Universe”—high end fan flms that have stirred up controversy related to copyrights. He has also claimed that fandom constitutes a new religion that draws on elements of traditional religion. Castlevania’s monster mashup refects this transgressive new religion of fandom, not only in its form, but in the series’ religious themes. This article explores the popularity of the Castlevania’s monsters through the elements of spectrality, monster theory, and Adi Shankar’s claim that fandom constitutes a new religion. It argues that trauma haunts the monsters in Castlevania and the series represents a type of transgressive religious narrative that employs occult symbols to off a progressive critique hegemonic/traditional religion. Keywords: Castlevania, fandom, spectrality, monster theory, religion. In2017,AdiShankar,alongwithagroupofartists, resurrected an old (and now dead, due to Konami’s lack of support for new titles) video game franchise in the form of aNetfixoriginalseries.Thegame,Castlevania,isa decades old monster mashup involving the Belmont family’s never-ending quest to vanquish Dracula and his evil horde. The Netfix series combines the narrative from 57 JRC Vol. 29 JRC Vol. 29 58 Seth Pierce Spectralvania Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse and the art from content has not hampered its success. Despite its genesis Castlevania: Symphony of the Night—the most successful as a child’s Nintendo game, it has now contributed to the game in the franchise—into a new creature that has growing phenomena of popular R-rated flm adaptations found a home in contemporary culture.1 such as Deadpool and Joker.However,unlikeotherR- rated adaptions, Castlevania is animated. Finally, since Film adaptations of video games have a long history of Konami abandoned the series years ago, it has gained an critical and commercial failure. Recent flms such as audience with people not familiar with the series’ long Tomb Raider (2001, 2003 and 2018), Doom (2005), and history as a game. Assassin’s Creed (2016), have failed to gain critical approval, even if some have achieved fnancial success. Due to the relative lack of engagement in academia However, as Rotten Tomatoes’ contributor Alex Vo with this franchise a cultural artefact, and its newfound pointed out, “It’s always a horrible night to have a curse popularity among a general audience, it is a good time to in Dracula country, but in real life, Netfix’s Castlevania explore Castlevania and its contribution to transgressive just lifted another curse: It’s the frst video game media that both entertains and challenges viewers. This adaptation to get a ‘Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.”2 article explores Castlevania through three lenses— Derridean hauntology/spectrality, monster theory, and This alleged “lifting of the curse” by Castlevania’s series producer Adi Shankar’s claim that fandom bestiary caught the attention of numerous critics. Ben represents a new religion. I argue Castlevania not only Gilbert writes, “Somehow, against all expectations and refects hauntological spectral dynamics that haunt the logic, the frst Netfix original show derived from a video audience and illustrate the function of monsters in game is very, very good. More impressive: The show is society; but also that Shankar’s claim of fandom as based on the Castlevania game series, a long-dormant religion is valid. Castlevania refects an appropriation of game franchise” that has a reputation of being occult symbols to challenge dominant faith narratives, “immensely diffcult to play.”3 Furthermore, Nathalie without being antagonistic towards faith in general. Medina points out that one of the voice actors, Richard Armitage, “has confrmed that Netfix’s unexpectedly delightful, dark medieval fantasy Castlevania show will be getting a third season — and the second season, Synopsis of the Night announced almost immediately after season 1’s debut, The series opens with a human woman, Lisa of Lupu hasn’t even launched yet.”4 village, venturing to Dracula’s castle to seek wisdom.

  • Symphony of the Night,Castlevania
    Uno sguardo a Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Castlevania è una delle saghe più classiche e importanti del landscape videoludico, una serie di giochi avvincenti che nel tempo si sono saputi reinventare, ponendo ai giocatori sfide sempre nuove grazie a meccaniche sempre fresche e innovative. I recenti successi delKickstarter di Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, avviato dal padrino della saga Koji Igarashi e il già uscito Curse of the Moon hanno spinto Konami a rivedere la loro IP dall’alto in basso in modo da riportare la storica saga dei cacciatori di vampiri al suo originale splendore, anche se con risultati hit or miss: l’anno scorso abbiamo visto l’eccellente serie anime su Netflix basata su Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse (di cui dal 26 Ottobre saremo in grado di vedere la seconda stagione) un nuovo gioco su iPhone, Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, ancora in beta ma comunque non ben visto dai giocatori, ma soprattutto il recente annuncio diCastlevania: Requiem, una collection contenente i due capitoli della sub-sagaDracula X, cioè Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, gioco originariamente concepito per PC-Engine CD, e lo storico Castlevania: Symphony of the Night per PlayStation. Quest’ultimo è stato in grado di rilanciare la saga in un landscape di giochi in 3D, un titolo che ha letteralmente gridato al mondo che con le formule classiche dei giochi in 2D si poteva fare ancora molto e, se oggi i sidescroller dai gusti retrò sono molto popolari, che siano platformer nel senso più classico o metroidvania, lo si deve in grossa parte a titoli come questi.

La demo, mostrata al recente E3 2018 tenutosi a Los Angeles a inizio giugno, immerge il giocatore in alcune ambientazioni inedite come una nave che affronta il mare in tempesta, un villaggio e un oscuro castello dove potrà fare la conoscenza di nuovi personaggi e nemici. Per la prima volta sarà inoltre possibile sperimentare il sistema di crafting, la fucina alchemica e visitare il negozio di Dominic per fare rifornimento di merci preziose per l’avventura. Un nuovo trailer (sottotitolato in Italiano) che mostra alcuni dei nuovi contenuti della demo è disponibile.

Películas realizadas por fans: ¿una categoría incómoda?. Palabra Clave 20(4), 979-1007. DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.4.6 Resumen A pesar de su notable popularidad, las películas realizadas por fans, o fanfilms, han recibido poca atención académica en comparación con los fanworks es- critos, gráficos, performativos o incluso audiovisuales, hasta poderse afir- mar que resultan en cierta forma una categoría incómoda. Mientras que prácticas fan audiovisuales como el vidding, el remix, el recut o el machini- ma se ajustan bien a la teorización sobre el fandom, los fanfilms tienden a recrear un canon narrativo y también unos valores de producción, jugan- do con idénticos códigos formales que los textos fuente. Las complejidades técnicas de sus exponentes más ambiciosos suponen, además, una mayor barrera de entrada, que conlleva una especialización y una organización je- rárquica de equipos que se sitúa en los límites de la actividad industrial. El objetivo principal de este artículo es profundizar en el conocimiento sobre los films realizados por fans en su diversidad, atendiendo a continuidades y también diferencias en relación con algunos atributos —también “canóni- cos”— de las creaciones de fans, así como a la autoproducción audiovisual, para efectuar una contribución a una todavía escasa literatura científica so- bre el tema.
