Dracula appeared at a time of great technological revolution, utilizing telegraphs, typing machines, and blood transfusions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I read 'Dracula' in high school. I've been around vampires forever.
For me, Dracula has always been associated with travel and beautiful historical places.
Certainly Dracula did bring a hell of a lot of joy to a hell of a lot of women. And if this erotic quality hadn't come out we'd have been very disappointed.
When I heard that 'Dracula' was being made into a series by NBC and Carnival, I couldn't resist. I knew they would do something interesting with it. A period drama with a supernatural twist seemed like a whole lot of fun.
When I started writing about vampires, I swore that I wouldn't touch the 'Dracula' legend because it's been done too many times.
There are many vampires in the world today... you only have to think of the film business.
For my part, if the audience wanted to see Dracula again, I would be happy to reprise the role. It is an immortal character that can appear anywhere because it lies beyond time. Possibilities are endless.
Dracula, if he could see modern corporations, wouldn't like them much. He took care of his people, at least as he saw it. They had very little freedom, but they had a protector.
There were no vampires of note in Western literature until about the 18th century. But they tell us where we park our anxieties, whether its over-powerful women, death or damnation. We make our own monsters.
Vampires are a genre now.
