    • Abstract:
      The article describes Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1932 film "Vampyr" re-released by Criterion Collection. According to the author, the film creates erotic expressionism out of trick photography and folk art. But the film's real triumph is in its design. Macabre candelabras, provincial wallpaper, fanciful fishing nets and human skulls make the perfect backdrop for bugged eyes and sharpened teeth.
