DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Carl Theodor Dreyer Denmark

His masterpiece 'Vampyr' (1932) uses the vampire as a meditation on death, decay, and the erosion of rational certainty through dreamlike, expressionistic cinema.

 David Cronenberg Canada

His body horror films like 'Videodrome' and 'Scanners' explore vampirism as parasitic invasion and the violation of bodily autonomy in the technological age.
