When Abraham Stoker described Dracula in his 1897 novel by the same name, he brought the vampire myth into the modern world. The Count was an "aged and decrepit aristocrat with bat-like pointed ears, hairy palms, unruly hair and extremely bad breath. Not only was he a creature of malevolence, he was in desperate need of a make-over." Contemporary vampires have graciously succumbed to the changing winds of fashion, becoming stunningly charismatic, elegant and alluring. The vampire’s appeal on the screen as well as in literature rests in the monster’s devastating sensual power. Dracula, the "undead," is the symptom of a repressed sexual impulse compounded by the frightening, but enticing qualities of a moral death saturated in decadence and sadomasochism.
