Klappentext
This book is the first study of the vampires in silent cinema, presenting a detailed academic yet accessible discussion of the films themselves and their sources. For the very first time, The Fire Elemental from the Wharton brothers The Mysteries of Myra (1916) is identified as cinemäs original vampire, his appearance initiating a rich and variegated period of film production that is currently missing from studies of horror cinema. Exciting and ground-breaking, Vampires on the Silent Screen also discusses Drakula Halála / Draculäs death (1920), the first ever filmic female vampire in Erich Kober s Lilith and Ly (1919), and the Dracula lookalike, Count Merlin in Alexander Kordäs Magic (1917) as well as many other productions. A socio-cultural framework with critical highlighting of eco-horror theory is used throughout to draw these unique discoveries together. This project is a must read for any horror enthusiasts out there. David Annwn Jones
