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. AÂ 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.
