How does a human get over the fact that the world is running amok with mindless creatures of doom? I also found myself thinking about the stupid ways that humans behave when zombies are around. There is in fact an arguably familiar pattern in human-zombie interactions that is now increasingly characteristic of high profile human-human interactions. It works like this: In most zombie movies, the humans start off by struggling with the most psychologically difficult task of any zombie outbreak. They must convince themselves that the things that look and sort of act human are in fact not human.
"Vampires are described as many different things. People believe that vampires could be ghosts or revenants, a monster or deformity; it could even be a reanimated corpse that is seeking revenge. Scientists believe that the characteristics of vampires include; pale and marble-like skin that is very cold and they have razor sharp teeth." (Vampires again, par. 3) There are many legions about vampires around the world.
(Pecos, 2001)During stage one, the skin is severely discolored and the skin is showing signs of rot. During stage two the zombies extremities are starting to rot and fall off as well as its ears and nose. During the last stage the eyes are rotted away and most of the flesh and muscle,exposing bone.the odor the zombie produces is worse than the sight of them. While noone has seen a vampire die of natural causes they do appear to age. Vampires cell life is extended by a significant amount of time.
There are many gothic conventions in ‘Dracula’, and this is what makes it an eerie delight for the viewers, as well as making it fit into the ‘gothic’ genre. The movie is cleverly adapted from the book, sharing the same title- that was scribed by Bram Stoker. Some very common gothic elements include the theme of isolation and security. Both of these things can be seen in ‘Dracula’ The theme of isolation is presented by the way Dracula’s castle is shown to the viewers- dark, isolated from any form any other form of civilization in the middle of a great landscape consisting of myriad and secret passageways and being a ruin in itself. The settings presented are also dark and eeire, and Dracula himself lives in solitude with no other companion.
One of the most famous ancient texts talking about zombies comes from the story of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh claims that he will break down the gates of the Netherworld and will release the dead to eat the living. Now days the take on Zombies has followed the writings of Gilgamesh rather than the Voodoo. First off the zombie is an undead creature, the rotted or rotting corpse of a dead human that refuses to stay buried. Zombies feed on human flesh, though the reason is unclear.
AMC’s hit show “The Walking Dead” is currently going on its fourth season. This leaves Max Brooks “The Zombie Survival Guide” vulnerable to the consumption of the zombie fanatics who feed on anything zombie related. Brooks has written a follow up to “The Zombie Survival Guide” called “The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks” and has a movie currently in theaters called “World War Z” (Brodesser-Anker, 2013). It is obvious that there is a demand for zombie entertainment in today’s society. According to Brooks, “There’s been some really scary stuff that’s been happening — 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, anthrax letters, D.C. sniper, global warming, global financial meltdown, bird flu, swine flu, SARS.
This being so the penetration of Dracula’s fangs replaces sexual intercourse in a physical and symbolic manner. Throughout the entire novel there is a very strong sexual undercurrent some more obvious than others. Certainly the most lurid and revealing passage in Harker's journal is his encounter the three seductresses. During this scene, there is evidence that all aspects of “forbidden sex” such as homosexuality, blurring of genders, lust and incest are present. Even during the decapitation of Lucy, there are hidden sexual meanings.
Therefore it is blood which is most dangerous to lose; yet blood is Dracula's only source of youth. He feeds not only on the physical blood of others, but also the satisfaction of tormenting their souls. With Dracula's bite, a human is left life-less and soul-less, yet at the same time they are not quite dead; they are undead. After Lucy's death, Dr. Seward remarked on the peace Lucy must have obtained, and plainly says, "No my friend it is only the beginning," (62.) It is evident that blood will determine the victor in the end.
By definition, “Frankenstein” means monstrous creation. Typically, the term monster brings me the figure of hideous monster, who is full of hatred and does nothing but eating or killing people. In contrast, the horrific appearance is similar to the monster in Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. However, the monster in this novels is actually a creature with a desire to learn and to be loved. This example of situational irony is only one of many found in Frankenstein.
Every folklore creature has there superstitions like zombies will die when being injured in the head, and vampire can die from garlic holy water a cross and sun light, but a werewolf can die from being shot by a silver bullet or are vulnerable to silver weapons, but it is different for every story and movie you
