Celluloid Vampires
Challenges the conventional interpretation of vampire mythology and argues that the medium of film has reinvented the vampire archetype. This book traces the evolution of the American vampire film, arguing that vampires are more than just blood-drinking monsters; they reflect the cultural and social climate of the societies that produce them.
