Dracula the Un-Dead

The panelists are Jeane Stein (Legacy) Chris Marie Green (A drop of Red) Tony Lee (Dr Who) J.F. Lewis (Revamped) Moderator Les Klinger.

Topic: Bram Stoker, The Joss Whedon of his day?

It will be easy to point out the impact that Dracula has had over the first 112 years, by providing a wide variety of material for analysis. Bram’s creation has helped many scholars, writers, directors and actors make a living off of his product. What is interesting to me is that it has been on so many levels. Dracula has been credited with making commentary on social reform, repressed sexuality, making statements about technology, religion, to name a few.

The present interest in horror and vampires in pop culture, to a certain extent, is great entertainment, but may not approach the level of depth for the critics to analyze as has been the case for Dracula.

Ian and I are making our plans to head to Comicon in San Diego July 24-26. We are participating on a panel discussion on July 25th. I will post some details tomorrow about the panel discussion to stimulate some blogging.

Sorry for the delay, but all technical difficulties have been resolved as Dracula The Un-Dead Blog is back! Please feel free to join our coven and blood, er… I meam blog away…
