We discussed all about intertextuality and I've shown what I have learnt on this PowerPoint.

1. • These are some examples of horror movies posters that
were made in the 1960s just like the kiss of the vampire
movie. A lot of these poster have a monster as the main
villain, some are zombies, skeletons, sea monsters, wasps
and werewolves which then links back the kiss of the
vampire seeing as the main threat was a vampire.
• In many of these poster like ‘Monster’ and ‘Astro monsters’
the person in need of savings is the woman which then
connotes the stereotype of women being weak just like the
kiss of the vampire. In the wasp women it appears that the
man is being attacked my the monster which is the women
but normally the main monster is normally a male but it’s a
female this time which disregards the stereotype that was
on women at that time.
• The wasp women seems to be looking at the man with a
sort of dreamy look and the way he's being held doesn’t
look like she's wanting to hurt him as much, which could
indicate that she loves him which then links back to the
kiss of the vampire with the main vampire wearing red
which signifies love for the girl he was holding.
• Some of the colours in these posters are similar to the one
we've been studying, ‘Astro zombies’ for instance has a red
background, in ‘kiss of the vampire’ there was a lot of red
which signified either love or blood which could mean the
same for this poster/movie. ‘The brides of Dracula’ also
involves vampires but the setting is very dark and doomy
looking which is the conventions that this is a horror
movie.

 Intertextuality- Where
text links back to
other text that’s
already out there,
which can be found
in a lot of things,
there are a lot of
examples which
contain intertextuality.
