Why Dracula Movies?
Texts from the [|vampire sub genre] are a key to seeing how the horror genre has changed over time. [|Nosferatu], the first [|Dracula movie] ([|1922]) was produced near the beginning of film history while films like [|Dracula 2000] continue to be made. The [|novel] ([|1897]) by [|Bram Stoker] exploited the tradition of the vampire that had survived over hundreds of texts across many cultures. The films, like the texts, have different focii, styles,techniques and values. These films both reflect and influence the economic and political concerns of the times and the cultures in which they are produced, as well the [|film industry] itself. These pages will step you through the films studied this year. Nosferatu: Dracula 1931. Dracula 1973. Dracula 1993. You can discuss the films on the discussion page.
