[quote=Anonymous]Bram Stoker's Dracula draws on Victorian-era tropes about eastern Europe being a backwards, foreign, "exotic" place. Stoker combined this with the traditional English anti-Catholicism, using Catholic imagery as a facade for what is basically mysticism (white magic vs. black magic). This way, the white magic remains superficially familiar to the audience, and therefore easier to identify with. Later artists continued in this vein because, frankly, Catholicism has a richer and more ancient aesthetic tradition to draw upon, as opposed to Protestantism, which has often emphasized staid, plain, unadorned aesthetics.
