EPISODE 036: LESSONS IN FILM HISTORY (GENRE)
Featuring: Dracula (1931), The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967), Interview with a Vampire (1994), What We Do in the Shadows? (2014)
WR&P co-hosts Ryan and Kevin define the narrative and aesthetic parameters of the “Vampire Movie” by examining four films which cover nearly a century of blood-sucking cinema. With a meta-text predating movies themselves, the vampire archetype and its accompanying narrative encasement creates an iconography which can endure remakes, parodies, satires, and revivals. From Transylvania to New Zealand, the vampire myth continues to travel far and wide to frighten imaginations everywhere.
