Loved the NIGHTMARE: THE BIRTH OF VICTORIAN HORROR series. I've watched it several times on KZfaq. Sir Christopher Frayling conducted an outstanding and informative production of each episode. Were I not in the U.S. and the COVID-19 virus running rampant, I would love to attend one of his lectures.

The lecture starts at 5:06.

Nice talk. and really cool that the guy with the stutter took the word. Serious really cool of him to do that. thanks for sharing...

There has never been a faithful film adaptation of the novel. The great Orson Welles, who loved the book and did a faithful radio adaptation, would have been the ideal director to have brought it to the screen. Imagine his prodigious film imagination working with the text of the book. Also, Welles was like Bram Stoker, a man of the theatre. The vitality of such a project! There is one great vampire film... NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE by Werner Herzog, inspired by F.W. Murnau's 1922 classic, NOSFERATU. Herzog's direction and imagery, Klaus Kinski's and Isabelle Adjani's acting and the music score are indeed... HAUNTING. Very disappointed that Christopher Frayling, a fine scholar, did not mention Herzog's great film, nor the fact that the book has not been faithfully brought to the screen, nor that the whole project may have been, among various other things, Stoker's revenge on his idol, the actor Henry Irving... all part of the richness of DRACULA. Just my two cents.

Thanx for sharing this lecture! For me the lecture would be more interesting if prof. Frayling included books who were the subtexts for the novel"Dracula".

Ironically light for a lecture on the gothic. One sneeze and all would be gone.

I'm practicing English , can you add the english subtitles please?

I get bored after reading Regardie,

A community college professor here in America, did an infinitely better analysis of this book. 🙄 Quite sad to see this video 😥
