Stave Churches, which are common in Norwegian lands, are medieval timber framed structures made of timber. The remains of these churches, which were built during the Viking period, appeared in archaeological excavations. However, there are still churches that protect themselves and reflect the period. Borgund Church or Borgund Stave Church. The Borgund Church is the most famous of the 28 Stave churches that have not been found in Norway. Between 1180 and 1250, the Church of Borgund was built by…

With Halloween approaching, there has been an overwhelming presence of Halloween skeletons. Unlike many other fantasy Halloween creatures, the skeleton is real and often poorly depicted as a Halloween decoration. The bones in a real skeleton function as support, protection, movement, storage, and blood cell formation. This skeleton in particular is anatomically incorrect and would therefore function poorly. The rib cage of this skeleton alone has many inaccuracies. A real human skeleton has 24…

Doomed from the beginning Avianna was born into one of the first famlies of vampire hunters that had taken up residency in Poland. Well known to the supernatural world for their utalization of hellhounds to track and kill vampires they were certainly a force to be reckoned with. Most of their hellhounds had been passed down through the generations while ocasionally taking in new pups if they happen to kill the mother of them. Puppies were only saved if they had yet to open their eyes in order…

my play review, I saw Dracula by Steven Dietz with the Shakespeare team in Cedar City. Dracula was originally a book written by Bram Stoker in 1897, and later, in 1997, Steven Dietz wrote it as a play. It has never actually run on Broadway, but is still very successful, and Dietz most well-known play. I saw Dracula on October, 1, 2015 at the Randall L. Jones Theatre in Southern Utah University in Cedar City, and was directed by Jesse Berger. I had never seen any kind of Dracula film or play…

The author illustrates through the chapter that the monsters in literature are really depictions of mankind’s own faults and deeply rooted capability of malice, consequently, when they show up in literature, it is not for the sole purpose of spicing up the plot. Many of the monsters in literature serve as cautionary tales to remind people, especially the youth, that many of life’s dangers come from within or out of someone else’s selfishness. In the book, vampires are associated with the…

Lindsay Roach Response Journals 5.3 Response 1: The Family of Little feet seemed insignificant at first because Esperanza talked about “Plump little feet”. At first this made no sense to the reader because she was talking about shoes and plump feet. But as this vignette goes on it was important to the characters because it was one of Lucy’s defining moments on her trip through life and an experience with a guy. Although the girls “Were glad the shoes were gone”, it was important for them to…

between the vampire and the victim is often presented as a type of stand-in for “traditional” sexual encounters, seeing as both create a bond or a unity between two individuals. The goal of this essay is to analyze, and in doing so compare, both Dracula and I Am Legend as two key works of fiction in the tradition of viewing the vampire through an erotic lens. Both works play on the concept that vampires are a type of unity of contraries for the victims, or more succinctly the main characters are…

The way she exemplified strength, aggression and dominance was a key factor in how and why she carried out her perverse fantasies. In 1578, her husband, Count Ferenc Nadasdy, was proclaimed chief commander of Hungarian troops and went to campaign against the Ottomans. This left Elizabeth to handle business affairs and their estates, which meant that she also had to take responsibility for the Hungarian and…

Wikipedia article “Horror Film” stated, “The macabre nature of the source materials used made these films synonymous with the horror film genre.”(1). Even though the word “Horror” wasn’t (400) used to describe these films until the 1930s, when Dracula and Frankenstein were released by Universal Pictures, some of the films I described above were the start of the Horror Fiction genre in films (Horror…
