Horror
The suspense and thrills of danger and the unknown are greatly leveraged in this genre of literature. Frankenstein is one of the earliest novels to set the stage and many of these literary classics have been adapted for the screen.

Mainly Carolanne and her mother. Tangina plays a huge part. It didn't really conform to horror--it was horror. An evil spirit...steals a little girl to make the unrestful spirits of those whose graves her dad and co. built the neighborhood on--follow him in death. That's pretty scary in and of itself. But the idea behind that is scarier--that the dead can take people from the living world and do whatever they want.

What pact does Mina hold with Dracula in Dracula by Bram Stoker?
Well, originally, the book was suppose to have a romantic element, with Dracula himself, posing as a handsome young man, for Mina to fall in love with. I'm not sure why it was changed, but maybe you or someone else can find out, but then, I guess there is some romance within the story itself.
Francis Ford Coppola created the movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992). There the (very) romantic aspects of the story are added or re-added very clearly leading to the conclusion that Mina saves Dracula from hell by cutting of his head in the very presence of God. She sais to him "Our love is stronger than death" just before she swoopes Dracula's own sword against her grand lovers neck.

The Gothic genre is a mixture of a few things which can include:
- A castle, ruined or intact, haunted or not,
- Ruined buildings which are sinister or which arouse a pleasing melancholy,
- Dungeons, underground passages, crypts, and catacombs which, in modern houses, become spooky basements or attics,
- Labyrinths, dark corridors, and winding stairs,
- Shadows, a beam of moonlight in the blackness, a flickering candle, or the only source of light failing (a candle blown out or an electric failure),
- Extreme landscapes, like rugged mountains, thick forests, or icy wastes, and extreme weather,
- Omens and ancestral curses,
- Magic, supernatural manifestations, or the suggestion of the supernatural,
- A passion-driven, wilful villain-hero or villain,
- A curious heroine with a tendency to faint and a need to be rescued-frequently,
- A hero whose true identity is revealed by the end of the novel,
- Horrifying (or terrifying) events or the threat of such happenings.
- A creepy creature saying 'Nimama', 'Nimama' continually in a dark spot.
Most of them contain supernatural beings and threat.
The Gothic creates feelings of gloom, mystery, and suspense and tends to the dramatic and the sensational, like incest, diabolism, and nameless terrors. Most of us immediately recognize the Gothic (even if we don't know the name) when we encounter it in novels, poetry, plays, movies, and TV series. For some of us the prospect of safely experiencing dread or horror is thrilling and enjoyable.
personally i think it is one of the best series ever (after twilight).
Elena Gilbert is human and a teenage hottie at her school. When mysterious new foreign boy Stefan Salvatore and his brother Damon show up her life begins to get complicated. She is drawn to Stefan and soon realises she is in love but a dangerous one.
the Salvatore brothers have a deadly secret that Elena is now a part of. they have to battle others of their kind and fight stronger and darker wild powers. It has nothing to do with twilight and is by a completely different author, L.J.Smith.
Elena has a choice to make. a choice of danger, a choice of life, a choice of death. Which will she choose and which brother will she have?
here is the series in order:
book 1- The awakening and the struggle
book 2- The Fury and the reunion
book 3- The Return: Nightfall
book 4 - The Return: Shadow Souls
book 5 - The Return: Midnight
On this site, they claim that it was Old English slang for "beautiful" lady... http://www.calandrastudio.com/websitepages/blooferlady.html
Wikipedia concurs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula
Not sure, because I can't find any official source, but that might be the meaning.
The Norton Critical Edition of Dracula states that the term "bloofer lady" is "Child talk for 'beautiful.'" If you think about it, in English dialect, no less spoken by a small child, "beautiful" could be corrupted to "bloofer."
Where can you find pictures of the Rose Red mansion?
The Rose Red mansion does not exist. It was purported to be a true story, but it was a hoax, just like with The Blair Witch Project, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and others. However, Stephen King got the idea from Sarah Winchester and the Winchester Mansion, which did/do exist. See the Related Question below.
It is not a real place but you could find fake pictures of it, and pictures from the movie, on Google images.
What is a plot summary of Saw II?
Jigsaw begins his killings again, and at the scene of one of his "games" he leaves a note calling for a Detective (Eric) Matthews. At first reluctant to get involved, after Eric notices a clue Jigsaw left behind and works out the location of his hideout, he decides to come along for the ride when a SWAT team break in. Jigsaw or "John" rather (Jigsaw being a name given by the press) is actually inside, sitting at his desk and attached to a life support system (he is already dying of cancer.) It's at this point he reveals that he has trapped a group of people in a house somewhere, (including the heroine addict from the first movie, Amanda) and they have 2 hours to live before a nerve gas filling the house causes them to bleed to death. There are several doses of the cure hidden in the house but in order to get them they will have to pass a series of brutal tests. Eric and the team can watch the different rooms of the house through monitors in Jigsaws base and can see the 2 hour timer ticking down but have no way to communicate with the people inside, and to his horror Eric realizes one of the people is his son, Daniel. John challenges Eric to a game. The rules of the game are simple. He has to sit and listen to what John has to tell him, only then will he see his son alive ever again. As the unlucky people in the house begin to explore and die one by one, time is ticking away and Eric seems no closer to saving his son.
No. It is however the name of the plantation in "Gone with the Wind" which is referenced numerous times throughout the movie.
Does Edgar Allan Poe's tomb stone say he died on November 17th?
No, it does not. But, it does erroneously say that he was born on January 20, 1809 even though he was actually born on January 19, 1809.
Actually, Poe's original burial site (in the Poe family plot) has the following engraving: "Original burial place of Edgar Allan Poe from October 9, 1849 until November 17, 1875." Around November 17, 1875, Poe's remains were moved to a more prominent site in the cemetery, and his aunt's, and later his wife's, remains were buried alongside.
Why is Hannibal unharmed in the pig scene?
It is explained in the book: "Dr. Lecter, erect as a dancer and carrying Starling in his arms, came out from behind the gate, walked barefoot out of the barn, through the pigs. Dr. Lecter walked through the sea of tossing backs and blood spray in the barn. A couple of the great swine, one of them the pregnant sow, squared their feet to him, lowered their heads to charge. When he faced them and they smelled no fear, they trotted back to the easy pickings on the ground," (Hannibal, Chapter 86, page 477, Dell paperback edition).
Later, one of the men who helped Mason (the one who isn't killed by the hogs), says to Mason's sister, Margot, "Signorina, the pigs, you must know, the pigs help the Dottore [the Doctor]. They stand back from him, circle him. They kill my brother, kill Carlo, but they stand back from Dr. Lecter. I think they worship him." ...And throughout his long life in Sardinia, Tommaso would tell it that way. By the time Tommaso was in his sixties, he was saying that Dr. Lecter, carrying the woman, had left the barn borne on a drift of pigs," (Chapter 88, page 481).

Does Anne Rice still live in New Orleans?
On January 30, 2004, having already put the largest of her three homes up for sale, Rice announced her plans to leave New Orleans. She cited living alone since the death of her husband as the reason. "Simplifying my life, not owning so much, that's the chief goal", said Rice. "I'll no longer be a citizen of New Orleans in the true sense." Though she had left New Orleans prior to the disaster of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, and none of her former New Orleans properties took on water, she remained an advocate for relief for the city. In spring 2005, Rice moved to California, to be nearer her son, Christopher.
