Dracula Collected: (Illustrated Edition)

Product Information

Criticism collects seven theoretical interpretations of Dracula by Phyllis A. Roth, Carol A. Senf, Franco Moretti, Christopher Craft, Bram Dijkstra, Stephen D. Arata, and Talia Schaffer.

I find Victorian horror so interesting as a microcosm of reaction to social norms of the time, to the buttoned-down and repressed social climate of the time, to the “new moral standards” of the church and the new questions brought up and hidden away by scientific thought. But under the fabric of late Victorian society lay wide ranges of change; the increased marriage rate and idea of the domestic sphere for women giving way to the New Woman, the upper class vs. lower class divide giving way to a new middle class. With the growth of the economy came new ideas of English excellence; with the growth of scientific thought, scientific racism. Buried Garbage– Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned". Anime News Network.

The thing about this production is that it represents its vampire as definitely, literally Satan (this series really emphasizes the religious stuff—I mean, it’s just absolutely full of nuns), and there are incredibly disgusting and terrifying scenes that convey how he’s super evil. Bang walks these lines extremely well. But if this adaptation excels at only one thing, it’s representing Dracula as being super, super dead. He’s so incredibly dead. I also do like that Bang’s fangs are actually just a full mouth of jagged shark teeth. That’s good. Very scary. Definitely not funny, even if you first see them while he’s smiling really big. Count Von Count, the friendly plush vampire who premiered in Sesame Street’s fourth season, is one of the greatest creations to have come out of Bram Stoker’s novel (though he owes more to Lugosi’s visage than anything else. There’s that medal, again!). Created by Norman Stiles and voiced by Jerry L. Nelson and subsequently Matt Vogel, our guy is just a Count who loves to count. He will count anything! It’s hilarious!

Forget supernatural demons who turn into bats - those transfusions were the scariest shit in this entire book. This is the first terrible Dracula film that bills Rutger Hauer, and in this one, he stars as the vampire Dracula III. This is a loud music video of a movie, and I don’t understand anything that happens in it. It’s so bad, it’s draining. I felt as confused and tired as Rutger Hauer looks, the whole time.

With a growing counterculture in literature came the reaction to such; at the trial of author Oscar Wilde, passages from his only novel were read to prove that he liked men. Soon after, Bram Stoker, formerly his acquaintance, began writing Dracula. Lon Chaney Jr. mostly played the Wolf Man (and the Wolf Man’s alter-ego, nice guy Lawrence Talbot) for Universal Studios, but then in 1943 for some reason, they cast him as the lead in this Dracula movie. Is he Dracula, or is he Dracula’s son? It’s never specified and doesn’t seem important. His fast-talking American accent, see, kind of throws the vibe of this picture. I vastly prefer him playing a hirsute werewolf.

Is he literally Dracula? No, but that’s fine because he’s fulfilling that function. I think. I’m not really sure what this film is about. I’m not sure that anyone who made it does. When the film begins, he Harry Nilsson about to be crowned King of the Netherworld by his mentor Merlin the Magician. And do you know who plays Merlin? Ringo Starr. Early in the novel, as Harker becomes uncomfortable with his lodgings and his host at Castle Dracula, he notes that “unless my senses deceive me, the old centuries had, and have, powers of their own which mere ‘modernity’ cannot kill.” Here, Harker voices one of the central concerns of the Victorian era. The end of the nineteenth century brought drastic developments that forced English society to question the systems of belief that had governed it for centuries. Darwin’s theory of evolution, for instance, called the validity of long-held sacred religious doctrines into question. Likewise, the Industrial Revolution brought profound economic and social change to the previously agrarian England.
