VAMPİR FİGÜRÜNÜN SİNEMA VE DİZİ FİLMLERDE UYARLANMASI TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ: YAŞAMAYANLAR
ADAPTATION OF VAMPIRE FIGURE IN CINEMA AND SERIALS TURKEY CASE: YAŞAMAYANLAR

Summary/Abstract: Literature is undoubtedly one of the most important sources of fictional productions produced for these two channels, which are constantly advancing along with technology, from the early times when both cinema and television entered the life of the modern world people. Vampires have been one of the most iconic images that have been identified with the horror genre of both oral, written, and audio-visual arts for centuries. Although there is a very large literary field about vampires, Bram Stoker's famous novel Dracula, written in 1896, is perhaps the most adapted novel for cinema and television. Therefore, it would not be wrong to say that Dracula constitutes largely the characteristic of vampire narrative. In this study, the place of Dracula in the vampire myth is mentioned; examples based on Dracula, which constitute the characteristics of many adaptations about vampire myth in cinema and television are given; the relationship between fear, monster and victim is evaluated in relation to “otherness”. In this theoretical frame, Turkish vampire serial Yaşamayanlar, released in September 2018-October 2018 as eight episodes, is examined in the meaning of transformation of vampire narrative based on Dracula.
