Vampires: creatures of the night. They repel. They fascinate. They seduce. They drink human blood. They are dead yet they are alive. Vampire Films traces the vampire film from its beginnings to the present day, acknowledging on its way all the classics of vampire cinema from the original Nosferatu (1921) right up to 30 Days of Night (2007) and beyond. From saucy French vampires to hopping Chinese ones, from Hammer horrors to Hollywood blockbusters, whatever the reader's favourite bloodsucker, they'll find it here.
