商品描述

This book is the first study of the vampires in silent cinema, presenting a detailed academic yet accessible discussion of the films themselves and their sources. For the very first time, The Fire Elemental from the Wharton brothers' The Mysteries of Myra (1916) is identified as cinema's original vampire, his appearance initiating a rich and variegated period of film production that is currently missing from studies of horror cinema. Exciting and ground-breaking, Vampires on the Silent Screen also discusses Drakula Halála / Dracula's death (1920), the first ever filmic female vampire in Erich Kober's Lilith and Ly (1919), and the Dracula lookalike, Count Merlin in Alexander Korda's Magic (1917) as well as many other productions. A socio-cultural framework with critical highlighting of eco-horror theory is used throughout to draw these unique discoveries together. This project is a must read for any horror enthusiasts out there.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書是對無聲電影中吸血鬼的首次研究,提供了對電影本身及其來源的詳細學術討論,卻又易於理解。首次確認沃頓兄弟的《米拉的神秘》(The Mysteries of Myra,1916)中的火元素(The Fire Elemental)為電影史上最早的吸血鬼,他的出現開啟了一段豐富多樣的電影製作時期,而這一時期目前在恐怖電影的研究中尚未被探討。《無聲銀幕上的吸血鬼》(Vampires on the Silent Screen)令人興奮且具有開創性,還討論了《德古拉的死亡》(Drakula Halálla / Dracula's death,1920)、埃里希·科伯(Erich Kober)的《莉莉絲與萊》(Lilith and Ly,1919)中首位女性吸血鬼,以及亞歷山大·科達(Alexander Korda)的《魔法》(Magic,1917)中的德古拉模仿者梅林伯爵(Count Merlin)等多部作品。全書採用社會文化框架,並對生態恐怖理論進行批判性強調,以將這些獨特的發現串聯起來。這個項目對於任何恐怖愛好者來說都是必讀之作。
