THE VAMPYRE – Plaza 3, Sat 7:00 PM
Richard Stout (moderator), Alyce Wilson, Teel James Glenn, Scheherazade Jackson
Description: In 1816 a teenaged girl, her married lover, a lord, and his physician decided to have a ghost story competition. While the teenager’s eventual novel became more famous – something about a modern Prometheus – the physician, John Polidori, also published his shorter work a year later in 1819. “The Vampyre; A Tale” caused a sensation that started a vampire craze throughout Europe. Among other elements, it greatly influenced Bram Stoker to make his Count Dracula a member of the nobility like Polidori’s Lord Ruthven. While a film starring Malcolm McDowell and Derek Jacobi is in development, has Dr. Polidori gotten his literary due? Let’s discuss it.

Description: How has the story of Dracula changed over time and through different portrayals in media? What vital aspects of Bram Stoker’s original story have been lost, which have been twisted into something new, and what – if anything – has stayed the same through all the various retellings?
