Fall Into Literature will "shake up" the ways in which you view pieces of classic literature. This lecture will be presented by Steven Frenzel!
This month, Fall Into Literature will dig deep into how vampires are depicted in film.
This year during Fall into Literature, join us as we delve into the horrors of Bram Stoker's classic vampire novel, Dracula! Stoker's work has been the inspiration for countless versions of The Count, and elements can be seen in all types of media. Join us each month as we explore Stoker's influence on vampirical lore through lectures on the novel itself, horror attraction design and cinematic vampirism!
This month, join us for a virtual presentation from Steven Frenzel as he discusses "Provocative Vampires in the Movies," which is all about how vampires have been portrayed in media.
