The University of Hertfordshire is currently presenting BLOODLUST, a vampire themed film event for October. The season should be of interest to all lovers of Gothic cinema. If you are one of our UH MA: Modern Literary Cultures students (who will take the ‘Reading the Vampire’ module in January) or a student on the Generation Dead: YA Fiction and the Gothic module (running from September to December) we hope to see you there. The films are open to all vampire fans however so do come down and be a part of this event. Bloodlust kicks off with Ivan Phillips introducing Coppola’s Dracula (1992) and I will be speaking prior to the showing of Nosferatu The Vampyre (1979, Dir: Werner Herzog) on Thursday 20th. I’d love to see you there. Don’t leave home without your garlic!!
UH Arts continues its new programme of film events with ‘BLOODLUST’, a themed season devoted to the vampire.
The ‘BLOODLUST’ season provides an ideal opportunity to discover – or revisit – a distinct quartet of vampire films infused with the genre’s hallmarks: gothic melodrama, intense romance, melancholic longing, dangerous passions, mordant humour, spine-chilling fear… and the lure of endless night.
Enhanced with introductory talks from members of UH’s academic staff, please join us on Thursday nights throughout October.
