For the very first time, The Fire Elemental from the Wharton brothers’ \u003ci\u003eThe Mysteries of Myra\u003c\/i\u003e (1916) is identified as cinema’s original vampire, his appearance initiating a rich and variegated period of film production that is currently missing from studies of horror cinema.
