Presentation transcript:

The Vampire From Black and White to Shades of Humanity

Nosferatu (1922) Earliest adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Derived from Slavic “nosufur-atu,” or plague-carrier. Resembles more creature than human.

Dracula (1931) More human in appearance Dark, cobwebbed castle Awkward in speech and action Kills entire crew of ship in hunger Tries to steal Mina

Hammer Films (‘50’s & ’60’s) Rich color of blood made deaths of victims less clean and clinical More comparable to life appearance than previous Battle between Good and evil less “black and white” (distinct)

Although there are some basic changes, the depiction of Dracula is still very similar at this point. Dracula to Hammer:

The Lost Boys Teen vampires appear to be human until a voluntary “change” occurs

Although they appear human in many cases, the monster still lies below the surface.

The Lost Boys The protagonist begins his transformation - sympathy The group has a family structure “Half-vampires” exhibit qualities that the later vampires will: human with a curse.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) Vampires take a step back – only creatures to be “slayed” Protagonists immediately become antagonists when victimized

Buffy : the Television Adaptation Blurred line between Good and Evil with invention of Angel Vampires became very human protagonists (Angel) and likeable antagonists (Spike) Romances between humans/vampires

Vampire character is still visible as a sign of anger, fear, or evil The “beast” is inside, often benign, unlike Dracula

Interview with the Vampire Vampires do evil deeds by choice Main characters struggle against desires and needs Human qualities of isolation, loneliness

Queen of the Damned Vampire protagonists Sacrifice of self for humans Loneliness and isolation Love for human innocence/life

Underworld Vampires are a family Do not drink blood from humans – manufactured Protagonist vampire breaks her own bonds to help a human Human/vampire romance Very Human in appearance

Full Circle… From the vampire’s sacrifice of the human for personal gain to the vampire’s sacrifice of self for human gain

Vampires may not yet be our friends…

But they are no longer the monsters they once were.
