Synopsis:
This volume is one of a series that is based on myths, legends, and folk tales.
Synopsis:
In the pages of this fascinating book appear Bram Stoker and his famous creation, Count Dracula; Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla; Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson investigating a Sussex vampire; and that celebrated creature, E. F. Benson's Mrs. Amworth. Here too will be found analyses of classic silent films such as Nosferatu, and discussions of key words of the sound film, including Dreyer's Vampyr and the most famous production of all, Tod Browning's Dracula. Medical Vampirism has seen the dark shadow of such latter-day monsters as Fritz Hoarman and John George Haigh, both of whom drank human blood while committing their atrocious crimes. These are only a few of the aspects of the vampire touched on in this study.
Synopsis:
The book contains the complete shooting script, excerpts from the original novel, and more than 160 photos, 100 in color, of the production, with its brilliant costumes and evocative sets. Sidebars explore behind-the-scenes details, the director's innovative methods, and the film's literary and historical links. With an introduction by Coppola, notes by screenwriter Hart, and an afterward by Dracula scholar Leonard Wolf, this is the only official companion book to this landmark film.
Synopsis:
The author of Trick or Treat and The Mall offers a thrilling novelization of 20th Century Fox's summer sizzler movie starring Kristy Swanson and Beverly Hills, 90120's Luke Perry. Buffy learns that she bears the mark of the coven and that she alone can stop the vampires before they engulf L.A. from 20th Century Fox. The fourth teenage girl in L.A. has disappeared in less than two months! But Buffy's oblivious. She's brainstorming a theme for the senior dance. One nightmare later, she meets a stranger named Merrick who tells her she bears the mark of the order: only she - the Pom-Pom Princess of California cheerleaders - can stop the vampires before they engulf L.A. They're everywhere... she can't even trust her best friends! Merrick has brought her knowledge, physical and mental powers beyond her wildest dreams, and a terrifying enemy: Lothos, King of the Vampires, who is determined to have Buffy for himself! All she has are a stake, a cross and a mission: destroy the evil - even if it takes her own life!
