DC 304 Topics in Screenwriting

Hey all,

I'd like to invite you to join us for The Rise of the Vampire, a cinematic exploration of the vampire myth.

This course will explore the origins and the evolution of the vampire legend from a literary and cinematic perspective. The tales historical roots will be discussed, as well as the socio-economic conditions in which the primary source material was created. The cinematic evolution of the legend will be traced, from Murnaus early efforts, to the 1939 classic featuring Bela Lugosi, to the schlock shock films and TV of the 1950s and 1960s (Dark Shadows), to the storys current renaissance (Buffy/ Angel, True Blood, Twilight, 30 Days of Night, Let The Right One In).

Hope to see you,

Lisa
