Celluloid Vampires: Life After Death in the Modern World

Notes

Notes Introduction 1. It is worth noting that at the Vampires: Myths and Metaphors of Enduring Evil academic conference in Budapest (May 2003), there were six papers given on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as compared to five papers on Dracula. 2. The term “Gothic” has a multitude of meanings. It can also be applied to certain forms of medieval architecture, the paintings of Henry Fuseli and William Blake, and has continued to be used to describe various literary and cinematic traditions in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. 3.
