Changes in the Aesthetics of Vampires in Western Film and Television Works

Abstract

Through the examination of vampire-themed works in Western film and television productions, it can be found that in the history of the development of Western vampire-themed works, the creators have shaped systematized vampire aesthetics through a variety of factors such as scenes, costumes, makeup, and story content. The aesthetics develop continuously with the times, from the horror-led vampire aesthetics at the beginning of the genre to the more diversified and even idolized image and youthful audience trend in the new era, which demonstrates the strong vitality of vampire aesthetics and the contemporary transmutation of the vampire culture related to it.
