see a blog. but to me, it's very real with me. they have a love for vampire fangs, zombies, and all things. corey, this episode of art sunbelt is dedicated to horror fans. feel the delicious prickle of fear. sit back and enjoy the macabre ride they start on the northeast coast of england at a birthday party. for the most famous member of the living dead, bram stoker's novel dracula was published in may 1897. the book became a worldwide classic and founded a successful shocker. vampire stories continue to be popular. but where does our fascination with their during blood drinkers? stem from?

ah, irish writer, bram stoker, got inspiration for his classic story whilst holidaying in whitby on england's north east coast in the 18 ninety's in his novel. this is where count dracula lands in the western world. and in our nightmares today, the town is a price of pilgrimage for horror fans wiser jonah will never die. reason number one obsessive fans. it's a very good story. the romance of it's all of knutson, you know, in the consequences of, of lovin deception. i suppose there's this, the, the, the fight i have a good over evil to bus flew, who we saw the bus against the moon, with a heavy of a know exactly how his wretched a sure. because he was in same fig because it's spooky. it 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 john was enduring success, mixing fact and fiction. professor catherine when has studied the elements that the irish writer took from whitby. mm. the also did his research in whitby 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 counteract stoker read about vlad dry q or flat, the impaler, a 15th century ruler of for 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. stoker took the name for draculas, 1st british victim from a grave stone in the cemetery of saint mary's church. swales, great name those and us her. yes. the fans finds this name here and sites to use is immortalized. this figure in his, in his novel, particularly 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 also

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 boat from the dimitri to the diameter, the only living thing the pangs of this boat is a black dog. a huge. how many bombs up 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 bough onto 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 kinetic 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 doctor clair. nellie says bram stoker was clearly inspired by these earlier works. there are so many other vampire novels poly dories de vampire predates stokers novel. we've also got camilla by sheridan left and you as that quite a few examples. camilla by sheridan lesson 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 read number 3 for the genres enduring appeal, sex and sexuality. boom, them, par, check 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 are dripping with blood, but she's wearing this white dress. so there's all these kind of reflections on innocence and virginity and, and all of those kinds of yeah. broader ideas that will have been in a, in kind of discourse in victorian society.

move in 1922. the novel dracula celebrated it's 25th anniversary. interest in the novel was waning, but it was about to get a major boost through reinvention for the silver screen. not for our to directed by legend re german director f w. more 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 enough 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 lock life after young women and seizes them at night coming into their bedroom windows of those elements we see play out in a lot of other vampire movies it visually so striking. i mean it's standard is 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 on. for example, stoker's widow, florence successfully sued and in 1925, a court ordered the destruction of or copies. fortunately for us, some survived the 1st us film adaptation came in 1931. actor. lagossi was a hungry and immigrant who had played the role in an authorized stage fashion. his acting and delivery may seem wooden to us to day, but his chilling and hunching quality only added menace for audiences in the 1930s. ah, i am not well of those see brought to dracula. the character of dracula was eastern europeans sophistication. yeah, he, this is

a guy who was able to speak in 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, both the marketing and lees mesmerizing and simmering performance used sexuality. this is the story of driving, a creature who destroys all who we touch. what christopher we 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 a sexual energy was something we saw in vampires from then on a in cinema lou. ah, reason 5 for vampires genres. recent revitalization, the female perspective in android says, 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 a vampire after the death of

a child and this was her way of coming to terms with loss. and of course, i suppose the vampire had that type of appeal for her. initially, the sense of, of living forever, which is one of the vampires at grace appeals. rice is novels, have many fans in the l g p 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 1990s is the gay family. in stephanie miles, twilight books and the films that followed vampires are young and beautiful. maya writes from a christian perspective, she is working within a very at, within a mormon context as well. that supplies don't have sex before marriage if the human female and the comes to the vampire. if edward cullen lets us defense this down and,

and take, there is a victim at then she is, you know, she's going to become a vampire and it's not what she looks like. that's fascinating, frederick collin, is how she smells. 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 it's basis in the dark arts. not for our to was co produced. i graphic, designer, albin, growl, a student of their coats and lifelong member of fraternity, sir tourney. under the name master, proceed. yes. crowd influenced the look of the film and was responsible for the intrusion of alchemical symbols in a key thing. ah, long actor max shrikes depiction was so terrifying to 19 twenties audiences 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 on dead. but there's no way that could be an ordinary bad, and also i be backtrack. combine that sounds like a made up name re max max fright. come on that cap. you like a real act. right. and we cannot. 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 the count, my name is gary on notice i am lucifer lucifer to icu. yeah, we believed that fanboys all room. i mean, we don't sit around drinking blood one day long. are there other other means of satisfying 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, you generation, bram stoker, died in 191210 years before the 1st film. what would he have made of the enduring success of his creation? i think this is a one to the celebration of france stoker's 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 faith, this performance, these costumes people living out, their fantasies, the novel is had real traction in wide popular culture. and you can certainly see that around whitby with over tourist attractions with shops that are inspired by

dracula, by bram stoker. and it's all that really, that makes it so popular. how he's inspired. thousands of writers and stage directors. and of course places like the whitby goth festival. that of profited from this and is a ticket 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 to screen dracula. of them all. very well, bram stoker's idea vampires have no reflection seemed taylor made for gripping scenes in countless films like a lot. but we can't ask the mirror. let's ask the fans who their favorite dracula was. lagossi is the, is the, the my opinion, reactor tackle dracula on because it is personal relationship to the character was unique. the fact he was a hungarian sylvania,

an actor or political refugee. i will know what the goals is. mullins were in the coat in boca raton, the. the accent avoids been push night boy, boy, especially christopher lee, of forget for me post lee epitomizes dracula. my tracking loss brought home, i will stand as really one of the greatest for films of all time. and i would say one of the greatest films of that since the 1980s dracula has had some competition. zombies does re animator corpses have become a fixture and film and books that her aid of lumbering monsters, the annual. somebody walk as in light for fans if they resurrected worldwide. such events have been held since 2001, including in mexico, chilly singapore and new york. the undead, feel free,

appearing in our streets. so what fun seeing them, and why they enjoyed dressing up as brainless zombies, hungry for human flesh, so much. zombies seem to have 1st featured in west african mess, derived from creole. the term means go store spirit of the debt. by a iti, zombies found their way into american pop culture. was on behind, began in the late seventy's, within living dead film series, directed by george andrew romero, which lasted until the mid eighties. the films attain cult status and contains social criticism. somebody storming a shopping center is a, it's also capitalism. that night as 2004 we make was also a success. look up the road. there's a lot more than are they coming here? maybe they're coming for us. the key thing with the zombies. as monsters, is there not a like a frankenstein or something or aliens? they are whole human, they're humans and are within us somehow. and that's the threat. and it's used very

useful for filmmakers to zombies as a metaphor for some general anxiety in our society that we know comes from people. but we don't know how to control and we think could threaten us this year. please help me. the south koreans only film, trained to pusan, also criticizes the government's inability to solve problems. the film was made off for a series of accidents involving bullet trains. and zombies have moved forward with times in hit video games. and last of us, some of these are more on channel, faster and more efficient. mutated fungus causes visit the outbreak weather in the virtual world or in real life. so these remain on the road to success, satisfying appetite for horror, the next on the parade. so with that to happen at halloween. so until then, keep practicing this gary. what is every harmful need blood and lots of

it. digital set designer and visual effects. artist malice x, so it makes sure they get it. we met her in berlin. ly, me intestine. devastating tornadoes. or a good old blood bath manus x. oh, he is in high demand in hollywood. she's a bro. it digitally crating all things gross. but she also doesn't mind getting her hands dirty effect. there it is. we crave the design, the billboards elements and building a bridge between the fantasy world and the real life. ah, i really like to do flight and gore. the blocked blushes, the dripping of the blood. the ballade coming out of the billing and the stiff too many options and i love it. now. for the american horror

story, i design olmos 50 even more blood elements that looking dufresne and looked awesome manager. so initially studied industrial design, but in 2015, she moved from tennessee to california to study visual effects and animation. and these days she is a successful digital set designer. i'm not a harm the fan. i watch horror movies only with my friends. what i like about doing though, horror movie elements. i can get the footage. there is no sound and then i actually get to have control of an it doesn't scare me at all because i'm doing good. recently i worked for on tim burton's van, his lay. i did of fire, i've fired up the statue and that was the one the walmart i'm really proud of. i

loved it. she says, the visual effects field is still largely male for every $300.00 men in the sector there around 10 or 15 women. but this doesn't scare huh. on the contrary, it pushes her to succeed. the networking platform at the belin, allah is a useful event for her to meet other people in the film wound. people don't know what mutual effects artists do. people actually a donna dead processed behind all these footages. i feel like i the are the bridge between the fantasy world and real world. so the ag actually executing their fancied the world and make it real make it happen, designing something to do gun dust and then making it look real even when it was

created entirely digitally. boss is the magic of malice, aksoy the art which brings horror films to the next level. they could well pass for jacqueline sisters. are they about to open their eyes? japanese dogs, staged disturbingly. ah, they appear angry, sad, weary of life. the images de around are full of great feeling and of dying. ah, i may be to $80.00 connector and the total gruffer dolls photographer. so b, j. d, those are my passion. so cold po, joined dolls with their movable ball. joints are particularly popular and south korea and japan dolls, facial features and outfits are inspired by monger, japanese comic art, the crack of based artist to creates

a unique personality for each of her dolls. so you can exchange to ours so so that she can look, you know, aside oh, in front. so you can change the color of forest size of ours and so on. so again, it will be like a different face and a 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 most 30 of these dolls. his daughter, you know, are so inspiring for me because they are not smiling actually. they are pretty serious or even said or crying. so it has some possible to a more serious stories, not about toys, but actually about people. yeah. about

a few months emotion, ah, photos that seemed to capture an inner space somewhere on the threshold between life and death. and this area of the mortgage continues to hold people under its spell. and with that, we hope you can celebrate life today. that's the end of our horror, but will resurface again next week with another adventure. until then thanks for watching. ah, ah, ah! with
