When it was published in 1975,
The Vampire Film was the first book in English devoted to the topic of vampire movies. Now newly updated, with a number of chapters covering the intervening two decades,
The Vampire Film stands as the best researched and most illuminating book on its subject. In their thematically organized chapters, authors Alain Silver and James Ursini discuss how the movies have created a developing tradition of vampire lore. There is even a chapter on "The Multimedia Vampire." Full of helpful commentaries and loaded with stills from the movies discussed, this book is both good scholarship and an entertaining read.
