Bled Dry: A History Of Vampires In Film (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780244873127)

Vampire films have not only enthralled and terrified audiences for decades, they also represent one of the oldest subgenres within the world of horror. A subgenre that exhibits a rich tapestry of depth and history like no other, and a creature that has managed to evolve and survive for over one hundred years on film. The vampire represents a primal fear within all of us, a fear that both captivates and terrifies. Sometimes flawed, these cursed immortals were once just like us, and this is perhaps the true appeal after so much time. The shapeshifter can enter the perceived safety of our existence through skilled manipulation and deceit, while offering the victim something they will find hard to resist and eventually succumb to. They are arguably the most skilled and intelligent of all horror villains, and it is of no surprise that they have managed to hold our attention for decades.
