essential part of fantasy literature, vampires have become, since 1897 with the creation of Dracula, in a fascinating mythology. An immeasurable amount of characters have been created in the minds of the most diverse writers, some good, some bad, but always with that seductive charm that no other creature possesses fantastic. Here are eight of the ones that have marked the life of the members of the editorial staff of the paper airplane. Enjoy.
1. ELI - Let the Right One In (Lat den ratte komma in)
1. ELI - Let the Right One In (Lat den ratte komma in)
The history of Let the right one in, Swedish film based on a novel fellow, goes beyond the simple romance between a pubescent girl and a boy vampire almost albino. Not to spoil the storyline, which is widely recommended by the editorial staff of the paper airplane, I can said that the novel addresses several intriguing topics as pedophilia, castratación, especially the stark moral suffering some vampires to be bound by nature to be murderers. The title ( Let in the proper ) refers to the legend that a vampire must be invited into someone's home or no bleeds to death.
production is currently in a Hollywood remake in English, which I see a bit useless because the quality of the original film has a level difficult to achieve. In addition, the Swedish spoken in giving a special touch to the story, not everything in life must be in English.
2. Vampirella - Vampirella
Coming from a planet called Draculon where are all vampires and blood flows in rivers, Vampirella arrives on Earth after his planet experienced a devastating drought blood. Using the attributes and skills of processing the vamp esculutural fight against the evil that lives in our world. This comic was created in 1969 by Archie Goodman and the legendary illustrator Frank Frazetta.
3. Nosferatu - Nosferatu: A symphony of horror
In 1921, German filmmaker FW Murnau, after failing to earn the Dracula rights, creates a more gruesome and repugnant to which christens Nosferatu (the undead) following more or less the same plot of the novel. A masterpiece of cinematography, taking into account the time it was made.
4. Lestat de Lioncourt - Vampire Chronicles
Anything but Nosferatu, Lestat is the epitome of metrosexual vampire, handsome and seductive. Created by Anne Rice as the protagonist of most novels about vampires, has been performed several times on the big screen, the most important, Tom Cruise in Interview with the Vampire and subsequently by Stuart Townsend in Queen of the Damned .
5. Blacula - Blacula
African-American version of Dracula became, along with Shaft, the symbol par excellence of the genre "blaxploitation" (black exploitation), films that were directed to the public cheaply seeking black heroes and characters of their own race . This does not mean that the film is necessarily a churro, but in this case, it is ... and a lot of fun.
6. CONDE PATULA - Conde patula (Count Duckula)
Someone correct me if not true, but the Conde patula was the only vampire in the history of literature to have the courage and courage to give up his blood-sucking nature and become vegetarianism drinking beet juice only in spite of his steward and protector Igor and his friendly and helpful Nana.
7. DRACULA - Dracula
Created in 1897 by the Irishman Bram Stoker based on the legend of Vlad III the Impaler, Dracula has become the ultimate vampire. His aesthetic has changed drastically over the years but the most famous is the immortal Bela Lugosi in the film titled 1931. My favorite, if you were wondering, is that of Francis Ford Coppola film from 1992 where is played by Gary Oldman, pictured here next.
8. CANADIAN VAMPIRE - Mexican Wrestling
Although this character is not really a vampire per se, the popularity achieved within Mexican wrestling in the nineties has not been matched by any other foreign fighters since. Played by Canadian Ian Hodkinson, Vampire starred in the infamous Mexican movie Vampire Warrior of the Night where due to their lack of knowledge of the English language had to be folded porridges.
PYLON. CHIQUIDRÁCULA - Chiquilladas
This figure rose to fame following his appearances on Mexican Chiquilladas varieties in the early eighties but it was not until the film Chiquidrácula Movie where we met his tragic origin. Charlie, eldest son of a poor single mother, shares roof with his alcoholic grandfather (the great "Spring"), to prevent his grandfather going on a spree continues masons with his buddies at night dressed as a vampire and goes out to frighten them, threatening them with death if they return to take. What Meyo!
