On the surface, most vampire films are about predator and prey, monster and victim. The history of cinema is cluttered with fiendish bloodsuckers, with the earliest depiction of vampires dating back to the age of silent films. Bram Stokerâs 1897 novel âDraculaâ gave rise to the most popular cinematic adaptation of vampire literature. More than 200 feature films have been based upon Stokerâs Transylvanian count. The character is commonly portrayed as well-groomed, sophisticated and cultured â a convenient façade the creature employs to conceal his insatiable thirst for blood and power.
From the beginning, vampire films have always made use of subtext. Stokerâs novel was a product of a restrictive Victorian society, dealing indirectly with concepts of lust, sexual immorality, and evil. Throughout the 20th century, movie vampires epitomized societal anxieties about sexual, religious, and cultural nonconformity.
