1. Sex, Blood, And the Undead: The Uncanny Vampire By Sarah Gayman Spring 2010
Why I decided To do this project. Condensed Version of the first paragraph of my paper.

2. The Works “The Giaour” by Lord Byron (1813)
The Vampyre by John Polidori (1819)
Dracula by Bram Stoker (1897)
Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice (1976)
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer (2005)
Why I read what I read: The most influential pieces. I stuck with the male vampire because including female would immediately be another whole thesis. Also, read some other poems and some of the trueblood books, but these are the pieces that showed up in the actual paper.

3. From http://sibley1001movies. blogspot
Nosferatu in 1922 Directed by FW Murnau; Bram Stoker’s Dracula in 1992 Directed by Francis Ford Coppola; Interview with a Vampire 1994 Directed by Neil Jordan; Twilight 2008 Directed by Catherine Hardwicke. The Vampire changes! But inevitably he holds to some of the same characteristics, sex, violence, and immortality. And these are the things that creep him both popular and uncanny. Although! Its important to realize these things are uncanny for different reasons in each generation.

4. Freud’s “The Uncanny” The eerie moments in text.
What Freud suggests creates the uncanny:
When the repressed resurfaces.
Oedipal Complex, Fear of castration, The Double, Return to the womb, etc.
Infantile Psychological developments.
The Risk of following Freud too closely:
Risk of reducing every moment to the same end.
Must be interpreted through culture perspective, as a cultural construction.

5. Dracula Dracula and the uncanny Mina, Lucy, and gender
The men: Jonathan Hacker, Dr. Seward, Quincey Morris, Arthur Holmwood, and Renfield.
