Description:
My Sister the Vampire: Fangtastic! (2007) is quite Gothic. The story is about a set of twins, Ivy and Olivia who were separated at birth. Ivy is a vampire which adds the idea of doubles and the fear of exposure. The Gothic setting is Ivy’s side of town and her "world". She wears very dark clothing, there is very old and shadowy architecture and there are a lot of coffins. There are also family mysteries. The twins search for their biological parents and uncover some family secrets. The supernatural elements is quite obvious but it is that Ivy is a vampire who is forced to straddle the line between life and death, human and monster. Olivia is the opposite of Ivy because she is a sunny and cheerful human who must adapt to the Gothic in order to connect with her sister. Due to this, there is a tension between light and dark, and the known and unknown.
