Netflix's Castlevania: Nocturne, a sequel to the animated series Castlevania, chronicling the adventures of vampire hunter Trevor Belmont, now centers on a new descendant from his lineage, Richter, in 18th-century France. Continuing the tradition in the horror genre of monsters representing specific metaphors or symbols, the vampires, in this instance, assume the roles of some of history's most ruthless perpetrators of violence: colonizers. The series primarily delves into this theme through the character Annette, who spent her early years as a slave and later rose to resist her captors.
