Dracula Analysis


  1. Unlike normal horror posters/films, Love is an unusual concept in horror films.
  2. Unexpected contrast between vampire and wolves/werewolves. Normally seen as opposites in horror films.
  3. Teeth Connotation: Blood sucking, pain.
  4. “Bram Stoker’s” shows is the original story, so audience will have an understanding of the plot.
  5. Acclaimed film director (Ford Coppola) , audience will have high expectations.
  6. November release, dark nights, similar to the setting in the film. Will play with the audiences mind. Not a half term film, so would connotate adult themes e.g sex or violence.
  7. Typography is gothic typical for vampire films. Red in colour  connotating  blood or it is written in blood.
  8. Denotation: A monster, Vampire from Transylvania. Blood sucking, shape shifting stalker.
