Compact book collection of movie images, trivia, and fun facts.

Recounts the development of the vampire legend through history, folklore, literature, and motion pictures. Considers the possibility that there may be vampires living in the world today.

Synopsis:
The third edition of a critical survey of vampire movies offers a thematic rather than a chronological treatment, and focuses on little- known titles that evidence a novel approach. The authors note that the vampire film is defined neither by a unity of vision nor a cultural context, and that many recent films have focused on tragic aspects of the vampire. A lengthy filmography provides extensive credits for most titles. Includes some 200 black-and-white stills. No subject index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Synopsis:
Have you ever wondered why vampires hate garlic? Or why they can't look at mirrors? And, while we're on the subject, do you remember that classic film Dracula Meets the Outer Space Chicks? If any of these questions have kept you in movie theaters for hours or up until dawn with a page-turning horror tale, you are not alone. Vampires have recaptured the hearts and minds (and necks) of millions of people all over the world. And now, Skal tells us everything about the fiendishly fascinating creature known as the Vampire. Here's the real story behind those wooden stakes, Nosferatu, and the children of he night. Here, too, are zombies, bats, crypts, Bram Stoker, satanic rites - even the psychosexual roots of Dracula lore. Compulsively readable, informative, and entertaining, this up-to-the-minute cultural compendium also includes a chronicle of vampire cinema - including cameo appearances, X-rated videos, and other tantalizing trivia.

Synopsis:
The author's extensive research shows that far from being a purely Eastern European phenomenon confined to the Slavonic beast we associate with tales of Bram Stoker, the vampire creature that feeds on blood has a place in cultures all over the world. Its presence has been recorded as far apart as Peking and Bristol in England. There are few topics that this exhaustive vampire compendium leaves untouched: how a vampire gets into a house, how to track it, recognize its grave, how to get rid of it (remedies vary from burning to trapping it in a bottle) and how to prevent its return. It is an essential bedtime read.
