PAST AND RECENT VAMPIRES AS SYMBOLS OF CHANGING SEXUAL MORES


Over the centuries, the vampire has undergone radical changes. From the Count in
Bram Stoker's 1897 novel to the alcoholic New Yorker Sam in the 1997 film Habit,
the figure of the vampire has evolved with society. The girl went on her knees,
bent over me, simply gloating. There was...

DARK SHADOWS : THE ORIGINAL SERIES – A SYNOPSIS


Dark Shadows premiered on June 27, 1966. It was on the air through 1971 and

THE VAMPIRE’S DILEMMA: ANIMAL RIGHTS AND PARASITICAL NATURE


Imagine that you are a twenty-five-year-old living in New Orleans, called Louis.

in New Orleans in a state of near despair....

A PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORY OF VAMPIRISM


I'm one of those scientific types who don't believe in the supernatural so my
first reaction was skepticism. However, because of my romantic streak, I really
wanted to believe in the existence of vampires in all their supernatural glory.
So I discussed this with a friend who has a degree...

threat to mankind. As the werewolf...

VAMPIRE PHYSIOLOGY


Blood has been a symbol of life since very ancient times. The blood in our veins
has always been iconic of our continuing life. To lose too much blood is to lose

THE SOCIALLY SOPHISTICATED UNDEAD IN FOLKLORE


The original vampires of folklore have been given some hard knocks these days in
comparison to their most popular literary descendants. For example, in Anne
Rice's novel, INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, Louis and Claudia encounter in Eastern
Europe only dim-witted, savage vampires. I agree that, in many cases from
folklore,...
