AB Bram Stoker´s mythical literary creation, Count Dracula, has been adapted to cinema bymany directors in various ways. Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau built, by use of anexpressionist technique and a disturbing and oppressive atmosphere, a dark, uncanny,and, at the same time, vulnerable being. Furthermore, he remodelled Stoker´s novel intoa dreamlike fable about the occult, the unconscious and the opposition between lightand darkness. On the other hand, Francis Ford Coppola offers us a baroque andaesthetically charged version in which the vampire is shown both as a threat to thetraditional values of a decaying society and as a seducer in search of redemption andlost love. Both directors present the vampire as a foreign, invasive being who embodiesthe repressed and the unconscious and needs to be eradicated.
