Abstract | The figure of the vampire has been an important element of popular culture for more than a century. The movies have been a home for vampire stories, and they have presented them as unusually frightening images. A recent explosion of vampire screen works reveals a new emphasis on addressing female issues as opposed to male issues and focusing on the erotic attraction of the vampire rather than the fear. As a fictional, but very obvious, example of an alien group in our midst, vampires are like many sub-groups. The change from fear to arousal may augur a change in sentiment that allows us to be more welcoming of outsiders. (As Provided). |
