    Page 90 FILM REVIEWS Bat out of hell: The Dark Knight and Hellboy II: The Golden Army The Dark Knight ( Dir. Christopher Nolan) U SA, 2008 Warner Bros Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Dir. Guillermo del Toro) U SA/Germany, 2008 Universal Pictures Even a cursory glance over the films reviewed in the last issue of the IJGHS alone reveals the extent of the checklist of contemporary anxieties that recent horror films have voiced, ranging from terrorist attacks on US and European metropolises; the war on terror; religious extremism (at home and abroad); Hurricane Katrina, the Asian Tsunami and related natural disasters; SARS and contagion; and the erasure of human contact and individual identity in an age of user­generated websites and shaky­cam news footage. The times they are a­becoming quite anxious indeed, all of which is contributing to the generation of an increasingly dark strain of studio output, in which any franchise worth its salt seems compelled to adhere to one cardinal rule: each successive release must be marketable as “the darkest instalment yet” (see, for example, Harry Potter , Spider­Man , and Star Wars in recent years, as well as Daniel Craig’s reboot of James Bond). What’s more, there is no room for a straightforward hero these days (significantly, the second instalment of Bryan Singer’s Superman franchise seems stuck in development hell), and this summer in particular gave the anti­hero his day in the sun, from Will Smith’s Hancock (Dir. Peter Berg), (a hard­drinking superhero who has lost his sheen and is badly in need of a PR tune­up) to Edward Norton’s Incredible Hulk (Dir.

Step 3. Wait until sunrise. His powers will be nulled then and only during the day. Step 4. Place a wild rose stem and holy water on his coffin lid. This will prevent escape. Step 5.

After my Molyneaux meltdown in the last Creature Feature, I promised everyone a creature feature on the Prince of Darkness, himself. The Immortal Count. Nosferatu. The Impaler. The Night Walker. Vlad. The Vamp. That’s absolutely right! Today, I will be covering Count Dracula! You got your wooden stakes and crosses? Then, let us go out this evening for pleasure; the night is still young. Now, I should preface this by stating that the character of Count Dracula is NOT exclusive to video games. In fact, he didn’t even originate in the young form of media! The Count has his twisted roots in an actual person, a man named Vlad III of Wallachia—which is currently known as Romania. Vlad “Dracula” Tepes was a sadistic voivode (voy-vood), the equivalent of a prince. He was known for, among other things, impaling his victims on stakes slowly and painfully. This practice, meant to strike fear into any potential invaders and enemies, earned him the nickname “The Impaler”.

Cardillo 1 Nick Cardillo Dr. Andes Dramatic Theory & Criticism 16 April 2019 At the Mercy of Monsters: Expressionism and Bram Stoker’s Dracula on the Stage Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula, is today considered a cornerstone of horror fiction. From its pages sprang one of literature’s most enduring creations and today Count Dracula is known the world over as a figure of not only the printed word, but the silver screen and beyond. Count Dracula has taken on a life of his own; a character so clearly defined in the public consciousness that he is no longer tethered to the Gothic genre alone and who has become a figure of both parody and horrific reverence. Among Dracula’s many forays into mediums of visual art are several plays all of which seek to put Bram Stoker’s characters (if not his entire original story) on the stage and dramatize horror.

  • The Models for Castle Dracula in Stoker's Sources on Transylvania
    The Models for Castle Dracula in Stoker’s Sources on Transylvania Marius Crişan [Dr. Marius Mircea Crişan is a senior lecturer at The West University of Timişoara, Romania. He obtained his PhD from The University of Turin, Italy, with a thesis on Stoker’s sources on Transylvania. He has published on reception theories and imagology.] “Built on the corner of a great rock, … it was quite impregnable.” (Dracula 49) Much has been written on Stoker’s possible models for Castle Dracula. Some point to castles in Great Britain visited by Stoker; others to historical fortresses in Romania associated with the Wallachian prince, Vlad the Impaler.1 But scant attention has been paid to the descriptions of castles provided in four specific texts that we know Stoker consulted while working on his novel: Charles Boner, Transylvania: Its Products and its People (1865); Major E.C. Johnson, On the Track of the Crescent (1885); Nina Elizabeth Mazuchelli, Magyarland (1881); and Andrew F. Crosse, Round About the Carpathians (1878).2 The most significant of these potential influences is Terzburg (mentioned in Boner, Mazuchelli and Crosse). This is the famous castle of Bran, originally named after Törzburg, the German name of the village of Bran. This castle has been often associated with the myth of Dracula and has even “won” the name of Dracula’s Castle. For example, almost every Romanian tourist brochure refers to it as such. But is there any connection between the fortress of Bran and the castle of Stoker’s vampire? While it is true that, as Elizabeth Miller suggests, the connections have been vastly exaggerated,3 Bran Castle might very well have influenced Stoker.

    ENGLISH ASSIMILATION AND INVASION FROM OUTSIDE THE EMPIRE: PROBLEMS OF THE OUTSIDER IN ENGLAND IN BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA Thesis Submitted to The College of Arts and Sciences of the UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Arts in English By Jeffrey Salem Moore Dayton, Ohio December, 2010 ENGLISH ASSIMILATION AND INVASION FROM OUTSIDE THE EMPIRE: PROBLEMS OF THE OUTSIDER IN ENGLAND IN BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA APPROVED BY: Laura J. Vorachek, Ph.D. Faculty Adviser Assistant Professor, Department of English Bryan A. Bardine, Ph.D. Faculty Reader Associate Professor; Director of Teaching Assistant Training, Department of English Thomas L. Morgan, Ph.D Faculty Reader Assistant Professor, Department of English ii ABSTRACT ENGLISH ASSIMILATION AND INVASION FROM OUTSIDE THE EMPIRE: PROBLEMS OF THE OUTSIDER IN ENGLAND IN BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA Name: Moore, Jeffrey Salem University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Laura J. Vorachek Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula introduces a number of issues related to immigration, immigrants, and contact between native born Britons and the non-English. Stoker uses a number of familiar genres and characters to give readers a sense of what is acceptably English, and challenges the perceptions of what makes someone English through Count Dracula, who assimilates Englishness in order to infiltrate and undermine English society. In doing so, Stoker points out xenophobic attitudes among the English by bringing someone from outside the British Empire into England and showing them to be capable of being more English than the English. iii Dedicated to Kathryn and Henry iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My thanks are gratefully given to Drs.

  • The Road to Castle Dracula
    Dracula 26/7/05 10:31 am Page 6 1 The Road to Castle Dracula y name is Jonathan Harker. I am a lawyer and I live in MLondon. About seven years ago, some strange and terrible things happened to me. Many of my dear friends were in danger too. At last we have decided to tell the story of that terrible time. Part of my work is to find houses in England for rich people who live in foreign countries. At the beginning of 1875, I received a letter from Transylvania, a country in Eastern Europe. The letter was from a rich man called Count Dracula. He wanted to buy a house near London. The Count asked me to find him an old house with a large garden. The price of the house was not important. I found him a large, old house to the east of London. I wrote to the Count and he agreed to buy it. There were many papers which he had to signl. To my surprise, Count Dracula invited me to visit him in his castle in Transylvania. ‘Bring the papers with you,’ he wrote in his letter. ‘I can sign them here.’ I was very busy and did not want to go. Transylvania was far away and few English people had been there. There was another reason too. I was going to get married in the autumn to my darling Mina. I did not want to leave England until we were married. But Mina said that I should go. ‘The Count is a rich man,’ she said.
