sometimes books are more exciting than real life raring to read. oh. what if there's no escape? do w literature list laundry, german must read his dose, you know, are so inspiring for me because they are not smiling. actually. they are pretty m as serious or even sad. i always been last night. a boy boy, especially chris felice. the food for me post li, if it's moses dracula. me to proceed up. always be more interested in suffering than eternal happiness even elation.

oh lou. life and death and the transition from one to the other. the beauty of the ephemeral, always a big topic in the world of art. what makes us really alive to vampires actually exist. searching for traces in the realm between we start on the north, east coast of england at the birthday party for the most famous member of the living dead. 125 years ago, bram stoker's novel dracula was published. the vampire story became a classic around the world and founded a successful genre. bloodsuckers became a cult. but where that this huge fascination for vampire tales really begin. irish writes are bram stoker got inspiration for his classic story whilst holidaying in whitby on england's ne,

in the 18 ninety's in his novel. this is why count dracula lands in the western world, and in our nightmares. today the town is the price of pilgrimage for horror fans. why the genre will never die. reason number one obsessive fans is very good. the thought. the romance of it all or not and you know, and the consequences of, of lovin deception. i suppose this, this, the, that the fight. i have a good over evil to bus flew. we saw the bus against the room with a heavy, a know exactly how his imagination, what because he was in same fig because it's spooky. there was a bright full moon with heavy black driving clouds, which through the whole scene into a fleeting di rama of light and shade. bram stoker's novel dracula was published

on may 26 1897. it's presented as a true story. brief. number 2 for the genres enduring success, mixing fact and fiction. professor catherine when has studied the elements that the irish writer took from whitby. ah, the also did his research in put be library. and it was there, of course that he discovered the name dracula. and he changes the name of his vampire from count one pier, which would never have worked strictly. it's very melodramatic to contract. ha stoker read about bland dracula. or flat, the impaler of 15th century ruler over lakia and the national hero. in romania. he was almost certainly not a vampire, but did have a reputation for brutality in particular for impaling prisoners. although

historians say the stories may well have been exaggerated, or even invented. stoke, he took the name for draculas, 1st british victim from a grave stone in the cemetery of saint mary's church, wales. great name those and us. oh yes, he finds, finds this name here. and sites to use is immortalized the sticker in his, in his novel figure introduces lucy and mina to to all the tales of whitby. and is the 1st victim on british soil of the vampire chris, their victims, on the boat in real life. that boat was the russian schooner, the de meet tree and was wrecked in a storm in 18. 85 on the beach below saint mary's church. this true story. oh, so finds its way into the novel. in slightly changed form. it changes the name of the boat. he doesn't do very much. he just changed the name of

the both from the demetrius, the diameter, the only living thing the pangs of this boast is a black dog. a huge. how many pounds of the steps here this huge hound is dracula. stoker picked up on the local legend of the bog, asked the black dog ghost, and skilfully wove it into his elaborate tale foot. strangest of all the very instant the shore was touched, an immense dog sprang upon the deck from below. as if shot up by the can cushion and running forward, jumped from the bow unto the sand. vampire law is much older than stokers. novel belief in vampires was widespread in southern and eastern europe in the 17th century. such that pope benedict the 14th had to declare that vampires were fallacious. fictions of human fantasy by the early 18th century vampires were beginning to colonize western european novels like john polly dories, the vampire,

originally attributed to lord byron. ah, doctor clare nelly says bram stoker was clearly inspired by these earlier works. there are so many other vampire novels, polito res. the vampire predates stow. cuz novel. we've also got camilla by sheridan life. and you as the quite a few examples camilla by sheridan left than you is really interesting because even though it's written in quite coded turns for the period. uh, camilla is a lesbian vampire. and obviously that links to an awful lot of the queer agenda that you tend to find in gothic texts. again, the fact that gothic texts are about me being conscious about, about arguably the taboo. which brings us to reason number 3 for the genres

enduring appeal, sex and sexuality. them high tech, always on one level, about forbidden desires. also the descriptions in the novel are very overly sexualized with lots of references to so of blood and her lips dripping with blood. but she's wearing this white dress. so there's all these kind of reflections on innocence of virginity and all of those kinds of yes, broader ideas that will have been in a, in kind of discourse in victorian society. ah, in 1922,

the novel dracula celebrated its 25th anniversary. interest in the novel was waning, but it was about to get a major boost through reinvention for the silver screen. knots for our 2 directed by legend re, german director f. w mar. now is ground 0 for the vampire film? reason for, for the vampire genres rising from the grave. reinventing dracula at the movies? ah! after you were nose not for our 2 was the 1st vampire movie. and it did set a template for a lot of those to come, even though it's quite distinct. i mean his vampire, his, his count or lock is very different from the draculas that will come later. but various elements in terms of the the way the sunlight can kill a vampire, ah,

the way that count or law life after young women and seizes them at night coming in through their bedroom windows of those elements we see play in a lot of other vampire movies it visually so striking. i mean it standards high german expressionist style with extremely sharply contrasting shadows and light and all of course done in a silent film. so everything the sort of visual elements play a much stronger role. unfortunately the makers of this historic horror film didn't bother obtaining the rights they just changed the names dracula became all ok. for example stokes, as widow florence successfully sued and in 1925,

a court ordered the destruction of or copies. fortunately for us, some survived. oh, the 1st u. s. film adaptation came in 1931 actor bella lagossi was a hungarian immigrant who had played the role in an authorized stage fashion. his acting and delivery may seem wooden to us to day, but it's chilling and hunching quality, only added menace for audiences in the 1930s. ah, i am that you won't believe, though see brought to dracula. the character of dracula was eastern europeans sophistication. yeah, he, this is a guy who was able to speak a beautiful long, complicated sentences and incredibly charming and with an amazing hungarian accent

of. i am gone called raoul. i want to lock your blood. this was no longer just a monster who wanted to kill innocent women. this was a sophisticated aristocrat who also wanted to kill innocent women. and that image of dracula became a template for basically all the vampires to fall dracula slept through the 19 forties and most of the 1950s. but on the cost of the 906 days a franchise was born british actor christopher lee played the count for the 1st time elsa, marketing and lees, mesmerizing and simmering performance used sexuality. this is the story of dr. creature who destroys all who we touch. what christopher lee brought to the character of dracula was sex. he filled this character with erotic tension and lost all these women. a bosom women toppling over and fainting in front of dracula as he

consumes them. um, and that sort of sexual energy was something that we saw in vampires from then on a incentive on ah, recently 5 for the vampire genres. recent revitalization, the female perspective in and royce is interview with the vampire. the blood suckers aren't driven by their nature to find new victims. but some have developed a conscience and feel quite bad about it. anne rice wrote interview with the vampire after the death of a child and this is her way of coming to terms with loss. and of course, i suppose the vampire had that had the appeal for her initially, the sense of,

of living forever, which is one of the vampires at grace appeals. rice is no. those have many fans in the l g, b t q plus community to create a family of 2 mel vampires and a young girl, a child vampire. so what she creates for us in this a quite radically in the 19 seventy's and later found, of course by neil jordan in the 19 ninety's is the gay family. in stephanie miles twilight books and the films that followed vampires are young and beautiful. i writes from a christian perspective is working within a very, at, within a mormon context, as well as the boss don't have sex before marriage if the human female and the comes to the vampire. if edward con, unless his defense is down and, and take, there is a victim at then she is, you know, she's going to become a vampire. and if not what she looks like. that's fascinating. fred with color,

if how she smelled, the sensation is so overwhelming for edward when they 1st meet, that bella clearly believes she has a body odor. problem. reason 6 for the success of the genre is its basis in the dark arts. not for otto was co produced by graphic designer albin growl, a student of their cults and lifelong member of fraternities sir tourney. under the name master passes gow, influence the look of the film and was responsible for the intrusion of alchemical symbols in a t. c. o. long term match shrike's depiction was so terrifying to 19 twenties audience is that here to rumors abound. some people have claimed that he actually was a vampire, that he can't be buried here because he's, he's one of the and dead. but there's no way that could be an ordinary bad. and

also i be back. shrek kubat. that sounds like a made up name. right. max max fright. come on now capua. real act, right. i mean, come on. do vampires really exist? back in whitby bay. some fans of the genre would only agree to meet us after dark. my name is the countess stretcher, and on account. my name's gary. i'll notice em lucifer lucifer to icu. you know, we believed that fan toys all room. i mean, we don't sit around drinking blood and day long. are there other other means of for such showing our our needs there's nothing different really about us. there's lots of empires in whitby. well, we're not sure about that, but 125 years after the publication of bram stoker's novel dracula has millions of

fans all over the world. the vampire genre has revitalized itself feeding on the blood of th new generation, bram stoker died in 1912, 10 years before the 1st film. what would he have made of the enduring success of his creation? i think this is a wonderful celebration of france, stokers, legacy and the legacy of of dracula. because stoker was a man of theater. he spent his whole life looking at costumes, seeing productions gothic productions at the lifestyle here. sure. and what a celebration their faces performance, these costumes people living out there found to face the novel is had real traction in wide popular culture. and you can certainly see that around whitby with over terrorist attractions with shops that are inspired by dracula, by bram stoker. and it's all that really, that makes it so popular. any theater manager, the right mind would be very,

very proud of a 125 year rod of something that he created. and when you also think of being an artist how he's inspired, thousands of writers and stage directors, and of course places like of the whitby goth festival, that have profited from this. and is it took a gathering of people who love to come and celebrate the goth life things that bram stoker really introduced to the world way back in 18. 97. i'm feeling quite mirror a mirror on the wall who was the great just screen dracula. of them all very well, bram stoker's idea that vampires have no reflection seemed taylor made for gripping scenes in countless films acre lot. but we can't ask the mirror. let's ask the fans who their favorite dracula was. lagossi is the, is the, in my opinion, the act ankle dracula, or because it is birth lindsay to the character. it was unique that faculty was

a hungarian sylvania, an actor, a political refugee. i will know what the goals is. marlins were in the cold and the co batson, the in the accent of always been fascinated. boy, boy, especially chris felipe. of that. forget for me, post li epitomizes dracula. backtrack and not brought home. i will stand as really one of the greatest or films of all time and i would say one of the greatest film they could well pass for dracula. sisters, are they about to open their eyes? japanese dolls. staged disturbingly, are they appear angry, sad, weary of life? the images de arounds are full of great feeling and of dying.

i may be to $80.00 collector, photographer those photographer. so be dainty. those are my passion. so cold to poll, joined dolls with their movable ball joints are particularly popular and south korea and japan. the dolls facial features and outfits are inspired by manga japanese comic art, the crack of based artist to creates a unique personality for each of her dolls. so you can exchange to eyes sas, so i, she can look, you know, aside all in front. so you can change the color of voice, size of eyes and song. so again, to appear like a different face and then different than different character. she especially likes dressing her dolls in a gothic style, ankle strap, sandals, and least of shoes. i necked colors, lace, everything in white or black. the collector now owns almost 30 of these dolls. his

doors, you know, are so inspiring for me because they are not smiling. actually, they are pretty an a serious or even said old crying. yes. so it has some possible to put a more serious stories, not about toys, but actually about the people. yeah. about the humans emotions, even though one knows that these are only dolls. the images frightened, unsuited the perfect illusion of death and of life. ah. ready lou. ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready she works with real living base, his work cello as a glimpse into the soul of others, people,

but also animals the p u t, which is like us, unique, unfathomable, full of dignity. the animal is an mythical companion, says valdez. she is. we are alike. originally animal meant breathing being it contains the latin word anima, the breath, the soul. ms. hobbs, go to the game. delicious. rather than a newspaper again. or the big question to you. i do animals of a, so the another to come is of course they have a so you, we are the only ones confused about the. so wanted to see our soul as glorified in a sense. so if you see what we know about cells go through some beautiful lucille, it an animal rarely pretends it just is. that's what valdez shells likes about them. these creatures are nothing but themselves. big,

black and white and without smiling. that's how val teshayla's 86 portrays people and all kinds of animals. plainly, the panda ban was not willing to lot of golden and pop google. so i was lying on the ground just waiting for him to finally stop eating bamboo often. because for me that wasn't a portraits english. and then he finally stopped on head to each doctor he and then i was going to leave the enclosure with hobby alban. but i didn't realize it in place. so suddenly, the palm, the bear, pounces on me as soon as possible. now that's how it happened to the actual delay, far back, but the finger was gone, so drew caught hot tub. unluckily his claws did his scratch, my face established it. ah, it hath nearly vanished in wilting, flowers back thing we call life. but want jails asks, is living anyway? how is it inside us? what shapes us in time?

and what is predetermined? births are a frequent subject of his photography. that's very 1st look emerging into the world. one vice, these 2 are subtle, so you never know how it will turn out. so we bostic, it's a matter of destiny and genetics. brown, salts class in the $23.00 chromosomes, each from father mother, with shapers, mach, former faces consist foreman, few more for melissa conception. her lines the palm gold, the big ones are already pronounced, not to to come go. of course, we can also change. so otherwise, we would be zombie syllabus of the possibilities we have come from within album to from what's in vested interest. caden awesome. from maiden huggles. no one starts from nothing. there is

a talent character and origin. he grew up in lance hoot during the war. after a bombing raid, he had to identify his dead neighbors. he was 9 men, and it wounded his so deeply at 15, he has his 1st camera, lynn to frame the world in launching it to will make it small, all through. and then as soon as he could, he left len suit, emigrated, and in 19 sixties became a photographer in new york. made to see a delight, dementia may of always be more interested and suffering than eternal happiness. so incredible the everlasting smile. to us who goldish this evil glacial. if most in it's all, i don't mean to say that there aren't happy people that will be just as wrong,

little good also for of course there are 2 to get to stay over. but how short is that is the feeling of happiness, the stroke and pin them. in hospice, he accompanied the dying with his camera in 4 months until life had departed to weigh in. there is nothing that comfort or explain us. it just happens. oh, can i no medication so i had no schooling. i had none of this. and to for not for this, i would be a damaged person, tells me fear was done via each photography, was my salvation. you full to go fees, money that to oh and disdain,
