Leave the dead in peace!

Despite the speculations of scholars, the outcome of Dracula by Bram Stoker, published in 1897, leaves little doubt about the return of the Carpathian vampire. According to the protocol of destruction, followed to the letter by the crusaders of Professor Van Helsing, Count Dracula has been reduced to dust. And even if the castle still stands at the top of its peak Transylvanian myth died. In his epilogue, Jonathan Harker mentions his son Quincey. Van Helsing said to him: "That fellow will one day what it was courageous mother! Already, he knows his tenderness and love. Later, he understood that several men loved it at the point of daring for its salvation, they would never have dared otherwise .
hundred years later, two writers, one of whose descendants Stoker imagined the future predicted by Van Helsing, offering a sequel to the original novel: Dracula Immortal * . The plot unfolds in 1912, more than 20 years after the story by Bram Stoker imagined, and has central character Quincey Harker, the son of Jonathan and Mina Harker. But things did not go quite as planned. Far from it. And that's probably what disappoints in this project now official. The new story takes place against the current direction hoped for by fans at the point of making an aberration. After reading the first chapters, I was jubilant to find our hero. At the mention of their past, many images came back to me in mind: the mysterious arrival of Jonathan in the castle of the count, the landing of Demeter in Whitby, the slow destruction of the beautiful Lucy, the love story between Mina and Dracula, Renfield's madness and, of course, stalking the monster by "religious fanatics" to the gates of its lair. But, like many sequels, including the movies, return to prefer farewell. Indeed, it is detrimental to a good magic trick twice, at the risk of delivering secrets or jeopardize the soul of the magician. I can not say the book without revealing the mysteries. And so be it. You will forgive me. The disappointment is so great that I am taking the risk of giving the keys of a novel that should not wake the dead.
The authors have not chosen the date of their plot at random. 1912 is the year of the death of Bram Stoker and the sinking of the Titanic, two elements found in the novel. Moreover, this concern to include the fiction into reality and increase the evocations history will lead the authors to draw too many strings at once, creating a cheerful tote unafraid interpretations. I like seeing the puzzle scenarios in the saga Back to the Future where he had to consider several time to avoid inconsistencies. So if you intend to dive into this novel, whatever the cost, do not particularly read what follows. I mean everything!
1 / Bram Stoker's novel is a character who writes a Dracula on testimony indiscreet. So there's novel Dracula Bram Stoker's great-uncle in the novel Dracula the Immortal Dacre Stoker's great grand son. Stoker's Dracula will even meet in person in the guise of an actor, Basarab, who wants to interpret the Dracula of the play at the Lyceum Theatre in London where Stoker was manager, for real. You follow me?
2 / The connection between the historical Dracula (Vlad the Impaler) and Stoker's antihero is again used, but more accurately as another historical figure, a distant relative of the lord of Romania appeared in demonic creature : Erzsebet Bathory, the Blood Countess, which, according to legend, bathed in the blood of his victims to keep her youth. Poor mortals that we are, we are currently witnessing a gangland family in which two vampires engaged in a bloody end that also lacks credibility. A struggle between vampires, it does remind you of anything?
3 / mystery of Jack the Ripper, who scored the annals of crime in England in 1888, here's yet another climax. Who is behind the butcher of Whitechapel? Dracula and Bathory? He had to think ...
4 / Character development seems inconsistent with the trajectory that gave them their creator. Professor Van Helsing becomes public enemy who barters his soul against evil intentions. Mina finally gives in to his adulterous inclinations. Lord Holmwood and Dr. Seward are free riders, thus betraying the friendship that bound them with Harker, who continue to tear, to the chagrin of their only son. In short, it will be understood that only come out unscathed from a vampire hunting ...
5 / Authors multiply horrible deaths, pushing the boundary descriptions of gore, no one escaped. Not even the Inspector Cotford, that Bram Stoker had deviated from his novel, not wishing to add dimension to police his masterpiece of horror. The authors give a new role in their plot, the binder including Scotland Yard detective who investigated the murders of the Ripper, Frederick Abberline. But its existence is so short that its sad end.
6 / Dracula is known by the pen of his enemies, in the epistolary novel by Bram Stoker: a damned, evil incarnate. While, for the authors of the immortal Dracula , it was ultimately not a bad guy and has been judged too harshly. He even tried to save Lucy by making her a vampire. Because they are blood transfusions from Van Helsing who condemned to certain death. Problem blood group. Ignoring its destruction, Dracula is therefore returned to prove his redemption. And then there is now worse than him ...
7 / The action of novel beyond the Victorian era and is in a rapidly changing industry and science. It was therefore logical for the authors to modernize the myth of the vampire characteristics and to consider a genetic origin to its powers. By changing its DNA, he uses his brain faculties unexplored and manages to regenerate. The vampire is a mutant who can even keep fighting, his heart torn out. A little too new age for me ...
8 / If Dracula by Bram Stoker took the form of a brilliant collection of letters, diary entries and newspaper clippings, which gave a narrative point of view with each chapter given to each character The novel Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt died in the fashion of "page turner" where everything comes together in a frenzy, with short paragraphs, in a simultaneity of actions. So it's more like a screenplay (by the way Ian Holt is a writer and had conceived his project as such) as a novel which we have to do. When will the movie?
9 / After discovering that his father is Jonathan but Dracula himself ("I am your father" I've heard that somewhere ...), Quincey is doomed since unknowingly, in the final pages of the novel, he embarks on aboard the Titanic. But after all, maybe he is one of the survivors? Another novel gives us probably the answer ...
The most interesting pages of the book at the end. As a bonus DVD, there is the afterword by Elizabeth Miller, an authority on the world of vampires, as well as testimonies of authors offering a trip backstage at the development of the novel. Lighting exciting.
For a magisterial history of vampires, read Dracula by Bram Stoker ...!
And let the dead rest in peace.

Kate Beckinsale's New Dog

Evidence of a third-rate movie * Ink Blood

Currently, good fantasy films are rare in cinema. Erick Fearson has been the sad experience with Paranormal Activity, Evidence of a Hauting , psychological thriller mounted sauce Blair Witch Project , Which proves to be an artistic work best marketing phenomenon. Unfortunately, the public is by appointment. To believe that in times of crisis, the moral and neurons go on strike ...

By Erick Fearson

I just saw paranormal activity, the "scariest movie" 25 years in its class. At least that is how the media we sell. What is it really? Before going into details, a few words on the pitch. A young couple suspects their house is haunted by a demonic spirit. They decided to implement a video surveillance during sleep to save the evening events which they are victims. The images dated from September to October 2006 were retrieved and assembled into a film of 86 minutes: paranormal activity.
Those who know me well know I'm fond of fantasy movies where everything is based on suggestion rather than demonstration. Verily, films with special effects and moult liters of hemoglobin annoy me deeply. I leave these childish amusements for young pre-pubescent that nothing tantalizes. So I made myself a joy to watch Paranormal Activity , shot using the technique of subjective camera and, most importantly, no special effects at three million dollars. Especially as the film in question deals with a subject that is dear to me: the ghosts. In fact, not at all but I still did not know before seeing the movie ... So
? Nothing new under the sun, with this behind closed doors that do not even reinvented the genre. Indeed, is not Blair Witch Project wants! If it is a gem of its kind, Paranormal Activity is a souffle that does not. The documentary aspect of the film could have been used. In fact, and in this case, we have the unpleasant impression that this process serves to hide the poverty of the movie.
To be honest, I was that I did not see this movie for the sole purpose of being afraid. For my part, a director must be pretty talented to scare me a little bit with a ghost film or sold as such. Moreover, as is my habit, I never enters into the trap of a marketing buzz of any kind whatsoever. Especially, dubious strategy when we are served by the production of the film itself. My first approach was, above all, to see how they would broach the subject and the psychological aspect. Because if I stick only to the synopsis and the trailer, the hero sets up a methodology similar to that of the ghost hunters to try to clarify the supernatural events that happen in this house. Of course, if I could, in addition, get a few chills, so why not! But apart from a few young virgins, I wonder who this movie can scare? Of course, there are many moments in the film where sweaty apprehension and tension. But it is rather lightweight. In reality, the pressure is during the night scenes, and especially in the last ten minutes a final big strings, sloppy and totally predictable.
Because the film is long ... very long. And therefore quite boring. Several times I've been surprised not by the entity of the film but my yawns. And yet, I'm more likely to appreciate the long, slow films (such as art films of Asian cinema for example) and bored farm for action movies. But I appreciate that these films contain a slow background, poetry, aesthetics, emotion or even a coherent, which gives food for thought. This is not the case with dull Paranormal Activity. In the absence of minds (or mind ?) Is the utter incoherence that haunts the film. Indeed, people who, like me, are interested in the paranormal field will appreciate the many amalgam between the world of ghosts and the demons. Two completely different worlds that the director tries to nest regardless of any consistency. Big deal! In the confusing and it gives us a completely unlikely scenario and completely disjointed, but still usable for the novice spectator who will not look any further.
Not necessarily focusing on the absurdities and inconsistencies of theme, History is full of flaws unacceptable rookie mistakes.
Do not talk about the psychology of caricature and non-existent in our two heroes IQ whelk. Or narrative gaps. We will never know the nature of the "entity" which pursues the heroine, where she came from or why it's there and what she wants. What is the purpose of the photo found in the attic, if not to effect the "Twilight Zone"? No answer. Why reveal information via the Ouija which is totally unnecessary to the plot then? No answer. The director was he looking at save time with these tricks to fill the painful 86 minutes of film? One might legitimately ask the question. Note in passing that the session with the Ouija is absolutely ridiculous. It is part of the stereotypes peddled by those who ignore the object and its use. The Ouija film itself is laughable. Rather than taking a classic Ouija to gain credibility (the model of William Fuld, for example), the film serves up a model of Ouija-style "satanic" with an inverted pentagram. Cliché, cliché, when you hold us ... Through the spirits of the board, our two heroes will discover the firstname someone they end up looking good on the internet and that it happened the same thing. And that's it! You read correctly, they will not try to learn more! As for the medium that occurs in this fiction, it borders on the ridiculous. It does everything a real medium should not do, starting with their damn scared before they admit that in any case they are lost! Makes you wonder if he knows his job so much what he says is wrong and worthy of a superstitious fundamentalist! The pinnacle is reached when it occurs again in the house to tell the hero he can do nothing to help. Indeed, he admits he can not stay here so the presence of the entity is resonance. To tell you the truth, I could not help but let go a laugh on the scene.
In a case like this, we think it sufficient to leave the place to escape the haunted phenomena of hauntings. Well no, we are told, because it is the heroine who is "haunted" or, to be fair, that is "owned." Fleeing will not solve the problem. If, in this case, it is possessed, then why include in the scenario of the phenomena which are typically associated with hauntings but have nothing to do with demonic possession? For indulgence, one might assume that psychokinetic phenomena are linked to a poltergeist (nothing to do with a ghost, by the way), in addition to the possession of this poor girl. In this case, it would, quite unconsciously, the agent trigger these events. But, again, it does not hold water. Indeed, some phenomena that occur when heroin is out of the room in question. When the "poltergeist" is activated. Example: the chandelier swaying or television lights.
Finally, the director / screenwriter should bone up a little more technical investigators haunted places because his hero uses very clumsily, making them obsolete.
I doubt he knows a little bit of demonology and the world of ghosts. Indeed, in his own words, he does not believe in ghosts and do not focus on this universe. Suffice to say it clearly transpires on screen! It is therefore impossible at the outset to believe in this farce is sold to us as a true story (sic).
Nevertheless, the idea is to use the director a type of minimalist and anxiogenic effects, thanks to the presence of time code that participates in the anxiety of the viewer. It reveals and amplifies certain phenomena. But despite that, the sauce does not. The events could be credible, at least some, if used in isolation and in moderation. Unfortunately, the director uses all the cliches of the genre, managing to serve us in the same film in a relatively short period of time: moving luster and drape, footprints and bruise on the victim, whispering from nowhere , abruptly slamming doors, lights and TV that light up, etc ... to dream all the ghost hunters! At the same time, and oddly, the film does not show much. And paradoxically, leaves no room for interpretation. Too bad.
Despite this, the last ten minutes you will perhaps startle even if it remains in the utter inconsistency as the ending is weak and easy. Note that I am talking about the end the least bad alternative. Indeed, did you know that Paranormal Activity has two different endings? The second end (that which is visible in theaters) is even more ridiculous than the original. It especially allows producers to announce a sequel. Besides already short of "shooting". Business is business ...
In all honesty, the trailer is more interesting than the movie itself. As is often the case. Even if the reactions of the spectators in this trailer are totally disproportionate. Nonetheless, these spectator-picked by the production are Americans and we know how these, the first Spielberg are so good customers right audience.
But fantasy fans will certainly appreciate paranormal activity rather that the very poor and vapid Twilight who is also the buzz right now. This feature film to be preachy and dull, just for flower girls, has as much to do with vampires that Paranormal Activity with ghosts.
It is unfortunate that this film is so oversold in the media. He does not deserve the attention that he is. We are far from masterpieces such as The Exorcist , The Extent or the beautiful pearl horror Rosemary's Baby .
In conclusion, with paranormal activity, the avowed aim the director is to bring only fear with some big strings. Unfortunately, it fails in doing so by a lack of consistency, as well as the misuse of various clichés. Just worthy of being posted on YouTube, the film gives no noble letter to the fantasy genre. It
said.

Removing Linoleum From Terrazo

Traditionally, the weekend of All Saints, we celebrate the dead on November 2. This year, House Hantee.com decided to celebrate the undead. Currently very popular with Twilight saga and output library following the Dracula by Bram Stoker, designed by his great-nephew, vampires are full of fresh blood. This is an opportunity for us to bite your teeth a few references to these mythological creatures unleashed passions as always.

few days ago, actors of Twilight trod the red carpet at the Rome Film Festival. Vindication for those vampires of royal lineage. Inspired by the four best-selling Stephenie Meyer, Twilight movies ("Twilight" by French) tells the love story between a teenage girl and a vampire centenary, his condition preserves the ravages of time and old age. The myth of eternal youth which humanity aspires in its denial of death. However, the titles of novels speak volumes about the stages of vampirism: fascination, temptation, doubt and revelation. For since time immemorial, the vampire scares as he seduces.

To life, death

Professor Emeritus retired specialist in vampire mythology, Jean Marigny said: " The permanence of the fascination that one feels for the vampire explained that this figure represents that all the problems of life, death, survival, the relations of domination between people at the love, pleasure, etc.. Compared with other traditional characters of literature that are the devil, ghosts, werewolves and other monsters, it is a very rich theme and summarizes all the possibilities and all the contradictions we feel in the depths of ourselves. "
Especially in times of crisis, the vampire is a catharsis of the collective unconscious, which by its bite fatal frees us of all our ills. In his thesis The Vampire in Literature Anglo-Saxon , published in 1985 in Didier-Erudition, Jean Marigny noted that the vampire literature is particularly rich in times of trouble. " I think particularly at the time of the inter-war period marked by the crash of Wall Street, the economic crisis, widespread unemployment, the rise of totalitarianism, and I also think the years of Cold War marked by the anticommunism and fear of nuclear holocaust, and then more recently to the identity crisis facing Western society since the upheavals of the 70s. Vampire literature has in turn reflected the current xenophobic prewar (fear of the Germans and Russians), anti-Cold War and more recently, the rejection of consumer society and traditional values, fear of AIDS, drugs, urban violence, industrial pollution, etc.. Every time the vampire was a different face. Contemporary youth finds himself in a character like Lestat, rock musician, maverick, who triumphs of mankind's ills. "

After Lestat, the vampire imagined by writer Anne Rice (Interview with a vampire), Edward is the Hero of Twilight .
Today, with economic turmoil, social and moral of today's world, young people prefer to take refuge in esoteric myths rather than face the realities, injustices and evils of the 21st century. However, television film, through literature, the vampire is more (dead) alive than ever! Excerpts follow.

Dracula and other masterpieces

We were talking about on this blog few days ago. Publishes a comprehensive omnibus works of Bram Stoker, around its core of Gothic literature, Dracula, the public discovered in 1897. Shock epistolary remains the absolute reference for fans of the genre, even if Theophile Gautier and Charles Nodier precursors Stoker opened the door.

Dracula Immortal

few hundred years later, a descendant of Stoker's great-grandnephew Dacre, assisted by a historian Ian Holt, a member of the Transylvanian Society of Dracula exhumed personal notes (descriptions of new characters, plots secondary, additional information on the original work) and unpublished pages, written by the hand of Bram. Both supported by the family of the Irish writer, they picked up the story twenty-five years after the epic ending to the castle of Count Dracula in Immortal , published by Michel Lafon (future column).

Pascal Croci

Powerful evocative visual, Dracula is also a goldmine for filmmakers and designers. As such, an illustrator has drawn particularly its game and won our admiration, is Pascal Croci. Writer, artist and colorist, Pascal Croci made his debut on religious cartoons for the Catholic press. Freed from this work order, he spends mystical Gothic featuring romantic dramas where the woman is magnified betrayed by his own. With his accomplice in writing, Sylvie Francoise Pauly, he has two albums on Dracula at EP Publishing, an illustrated travel book In Search of Dracula, travel diary of Jonathan Harker Clerics in Pre and more recently, a comic book on the legend of Elizabeth Bathory a female vampire, always at EP Editions. However, Pascal Croci's talent does not stop biting his sketches, his features emaciated and tortured, some works that remind me of dark symbolist painter and colorist of the nineteenth century, Odilon Redon. The contrasting colorization of thumbnail is sublime atmosphere. On funds cold purple characters, real living statues, bloodcurdling. As the gorgon in Homer, one of their morbid gaze you petrified with horror. To our delight.

Blood Potion Energy

Finally, to end on a humorous note (Halloween forces ...) I wanted to point out in January 2010 of a beverage that resembles voluntary blood: "Blood Energy Potion (Exhilarated blood-based). Packaged as an infusion bag, the nutritional values similar to those of blood, this "elixir" warms 14 seconds in microwave oven to drink to body temperature ... The icing on the cake, the labeling indicates the blood which the potion is supposed to match. I assure you, there is no blood in this beverage iron, protein and electrolytes. It's just a marketing concept glauquissime showing that the sill of vampirism has a commercial future, even more twisted.

Paris, ghost town

In a few days in Paris will take up residence with been immersed in its quietude of August, but its Parisians. Only loafers, dreamers, tourists, artists and irreducible, by choice or under pressure will walk the sunny streets of the city of lights, cleared of traffic jams, its pollution, its endless queues and its excited at the edge of nervous breakdown. Soon a ghost town in some way. The opportunity to discover or rediscover Paris, under a different angle. With the guide "Paris, do we fear", published by Christine Bonneton, Marc and Claudine Hourcadette Lemonier, two lovers ballads thematic us on a journey into the heart of crime, the weird and irrational. Often, the Parisian rush (redundant?) Comes and goes in front facades which he knows the secrets monuments, backyards, hallways, museums, legends, trivia, ... But Paris is a small antique shop, decorations made of real or imaginary, where, under the exhaust gas is mask a cryptic inscription, an imprint of the past, a shiver. We must therefore take the time to stop and let our minds wander romantic. Certainly one finds classics like the Louvre Belphegor, the Templars at the Pont-Neuf, the devil in Notre-Dame, La Voisin and his poisons, alchemists, famous criminals, the high places of the police, the ghost of Luxembourg , Behind the Scenes the Da Vinci Code , guests must-Pere-Lachaise or bones from the catacombs. But it's always good to revise its traditional at this time of holiday homework, is not it? Moreover, beyond these fundamentals, the editorial bias of the authors (which, for each district, selected stories around a strong theme) and some little known stories, which are what differentiate Secret Paris of the new guide and unusual. Did you know that Sherlock Holmes had stayed in Paris? Agatha Christie had been assaulted? A statue of the Virgin had begun bleeding after being stabbed by a Swiss soldier? A UFO was sighted flying over the Eiffel Tower? Poltergeist that haunted the streets of Walnut? That a treasure was discovered in underground passages in Montmartre? What ignite our imagination! Of course, for some stories to send shivers down your back, it is no longer any visible trace on the ground. But the authors had the idea to us refer to books, films or other remains, clearly visible those who celebrate in their own way the memory of these stories sometimes macabre, sometimes supernatural. So it's a ballad both tourist and poetic, the borders of mystery, to which this "Paris, do we fear" invites us. Richly illustrated, this guide is useful and fun, both on site and comfort of his couch. Good summer in Paris! Olivier

Do you know Billy Fog?

How did we spend our summer road without noticing the fabulous book illustration, half comic, half sketchbook, William Bianco?! First, a big thank you to P'tit Lu, illustrator talent, telling me about this book on the antics of a little boy, a lover of stories and morbid fantasy creatures. If you're a fan of Tim Burton, himself a fan of Vincent Price, himself a fan of Edgar Allan Poe, you'll love it! His name is Billy Fog, could have been part of siblings Baudelaire Orphans and "suffer" a gift of sight disorder. This enables him to live his dreams and waking nightmares. It is not bad, just a little turbulent, with the irresistible desire to scare and be scared. I can not say more work is so rich. The best is to get, as quickly as possible and eyes closed, "Billy Fog, the gift of sight disorder" by William Bianco, published by Editions Soleil. A beautiful book collector you will not read in one go, but piecemeal. In any case, you're not ready to let go anytime soon. Hats off to this publishing project that beautifully renders homage to the "sad end of Oyster Boy," a collection of poems and drawings macabre haunted by death under the hand of the director of Corpse Bride and Sweeney Todd . And on his blog , the author announces a sequel ... Olivier .

Find Stuff Hidden In House

prison sentence for the thrill seekers

Read on Progrès.fr (Haute-Loire region), we report a mishap occurred in three young people from the region of Paris, yesterday and tried before the criminal court of Puy-en-Velay. Following a night of chills in an unoccupied house, situated in the woods a few miles to Chambon-sur-Lignon, where young people were educated at the material time, and strange stories which circulate, three individuals were sentenced to one to three months suspended prison sentence for trespassing and damage to property of others. Despite the pleading of the defense who deplored an "idle stupidity of kids," victims of their imagination, this night was not equipped with the taste of justice deplored acts of burglary and vandalism, between December 2007 and February 2008. A sad case that compels us to remind our loyal readers, as we do routinely in our reporting and our logbooks, it is strictly forbidden to explore on private property (even abandoned) for its legends, without having agreed a prior appointment with the owner, whether private or public. In addition, House Hantee.com discourages hunting experiences with ghosts based solely on the thrill-seeking.

James Bond in a haunted house!

The title of our brief is somewhat surprising. But the purists do not panic. I juggle with words. The officer at Her Majesty's Secret Service did not intend to make his next visit to a haunted house. Although the concept of 007 in dive adventures border with reality I would not mind ... In fact, we learn that actor Daniel Craig was approached to participate in the upcoming thriller film by Jim Sheridan (The Boxer , In Name of father ) entitled Dream House. In the script of David Loucks who looks just like the pitch of Amityville, a family moves to the Canadian border in a house haunted by the former occupiers, all killed by a father gone mad. If confirmed in his role, Daniel Craig will he make us forget the tuxedo for a cold sweat? Still on the haunted houses in film, note the output Nucingen House , Raoul Ruiz, Jean-Marc Barr and Elsa Zylberstein. In this film the screenplay (very!) Loosely based on the novel by Balzac, writer Detectives from a home win at poker. With his wife ill, he is greeted by strange servants who seem to live again the memory of Leonore, who died tragically and whose ghost haunts the corridors of the remains mysterious. A story that recalls the famous Rebecca Daphne du Maurier, directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1940. Except that the reviews are very mixed and recommend only the odd old house atmosphere, decorated half-grotesque, half-romantic, filled with all sorts of nocturnal creatures. Why we love! Without forgetting the dark tale for children and adults Coraline, adapted by director of The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack , where an intrepid girl discovers another world, hidden behind the door of her strange house. Prepare to spend the summer ... indoors! Olivier
