Title: The vampire of the third millennium: from demon to angel
Abstract: Starting from the idea that there is a soaring interest in vampire-related products at the dawn of the new millennium,
our paper will explore how the vampire figure is contextualised and shaped when it comes to his appearance and
behaviour. The corpus of our analysis includes three of the most popular films to date: Twilight, Vampire Diaries and
True Blood. The aim of our study is to compare and contrast the vampire protagonists these three films instantiate and
also to identify any major shifts from the �classic� conceptualisation of the vampire. Furthermore, we will try to
understand how these transformations could account for the popularity of the vampire figure in general and among
teenagers in particular.
