The Ever Evolving Faces Of Horror
Dracula as seen in The Horror Of Dracula (1958), Bram Stokers Dracula (1992) and Buffy The Vampire Slayer (2001). It can clearly be seen that as time as evolved, so have the interpretations of the Prince Of Darkness, ranging from appearing middle aged, ancient and young. Also, another variation is Dracula's origin, as the 1958 film shows Dracula with an English accent, the 1992 film a Romanian accent, and the TV show, an Eastern European accent.
As time has progressed, interpretation of Frankenstein has changed. Original films show him as more of a monster than as a human, wheras more modern versions have given him a more human feel, so that the audience can feel sympathy and empthy towards the monster, instead of seeing him as something that is beyond human.
The deconstruction of horror in more modern films such as The Blair Witch Project. Never had there been a film like it before, it has become a cult classic, with people still to this day believing that the film itself was real.
