On the T.V. screen, commercials, magazines, etc. They are ever where. This essay I will be discussing the cause of the infamous vampires and there effects on society. Next, the origin and how it affected coulters. Lastly, the gothic side of it all today and what it caused everyone to morph it into. Everyone loves a good scary movie, right? Well, when someone says lets go see a scary movie they will most likely see a vampire movie. Today vampires have shaped our society into the gothic world that we have. Vampires strike fear in our hearts because some people believe vampires exist, when in reality there is no proof of their existence so the whole mainstream media has morphed the vampire into these fairies of the Twilight Saga. Today vampires affect us differently because of the mainstream media. Every year you see a block buster hit the movie screens and social media world, and as soon as the block buster comes out it usually involves vampires hoping to hit a certain audience of gothic lovers but it hits everyone and they love it. The origin of vampires go back hundreds and hundreds of years taking us to Transylvania. There was this very dark and malevolent man named Count Dracul and translated Dracul means dragon in Latin. Dracul was an angry man, when he punished someone he would take his victims and stick them on stakes and them hang till dead and he would drink there blood on occasions thus the myth of the vampire in Bram Stalkers famous novel Dracula being based off of Count Dracul. After all this transpired that had affect the world and put them to fear that vampires were real and struck fear in our hearts and forever more. Now, for the gothic side and dominatrix side

    Christopher Beam’s theory of Vampires is similar to Del Toro and Hogan’s piece of “why Vampires Never Die”. All three theorize that the main purpose of Vampires is to have an intelligent monster that is able to think and adapt to modern times. Most monsters want to kill and destroy everything in sight. Vampires are a different type of monster. As Del Toro and Hogan state, “…the Vampire does not seek to obliterate us, but instead offers a peculiar brand of blood alchemy”.

Christopher Beam validates this thinking by stating, “Vampires … are the biggest…

    Though I am not an avid fan of the Twilight series, I felt compelled to distinguish the differences between the vampires in each film. I must admit that I have read all five of the Stephanie Meyer novels (only partial of the 5th installment) in the series, and of course, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Though the novels are separated by a century wide gap, the traditional aspect of the vampire remains nearly the same. Special characteristics of each according to the novels, however, differ greatly.…

It takes place in Transylvania where an evil vampire named Dracula attempt to move to London aiming to find new blood. On the other hand the Twilight novel was released in the 21st century by the American author Stephenie Meyer. It’s more a fantasy-romance novel where a teenager human falls in love with a 104-years-old vampire named…
