For the very first time, The Fire Elemental from the Wharton brothers’ \u003ci\u003eThe Mysteries of Myra\u003c\/i\u003e (1916) is identified as cinema’s original vampire, his appearance initiating a rich and variegated period of film production that is currently missing from studies of horror cinema. Exciting and ground-breaking, \u003ci\u003eVampires on the Silent Screen \u003c\/i\u003ealso discusses \u003ci\u003eDrakula Hal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eá\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ela \/ Dracula’s death\u003c\/i\u003e (1920), the first ever filmic female vampire in Erich Kober’s \u003ci\u003eLilith and Ly\u003c\/i\u003e (1919), and the Dracula lookalike, Count Merlin in Alexander Korda’s\u003ci\u003e Magic\u003c\/i\u003e (1917) as well as many other productions. A socio-cultural framework with critical highlighting of eco-horror theory is used throughout to draw these unique discoveries together.
