Vampire content produces exquisitely suspenseful stories that, combined with motion picture filmmaking, reveal much about the cultures that enable vampire film production and the audiences they attract.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This collection of essays is generously illustrated and ranges across sixteen cultures on five continents, including the films \u003ci\u003eLet the Right One In, What We Do in the Shadows, Cronos, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWe Are the Night, \u003c\/i\u003e among many others. Distinctly different kinds of European vampires have originated in Ireland, Germany, Sweden, and Serbia. North American vampires are represented by films from Mexico, Canada, and the USA. Middle Eastern locations include Tangier, Morocco, and a fictional city in Iran. South Asia has produced Bollywood vampire films, and east Asian vampires are represented by films from Korea, China, and Japan. Some of the most recent vampire movies have come from Australia and New Zealand. These essays also look at vampire films through lenses of gender, post-colonialism, camp, and otherness as well as the evolution of the vampiric character in cinema worldwide, together constituting a mosaic of the cinematic undead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Aubrey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476676739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476676739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.90d","brand":"James Aubrey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990818324735,"sku":"9781476676739","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fbbb21ba-b97f-41fb-9aab-03880d16ab1a.jpg?v=1683306865","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vampire-films-around-the-world-james-aubrey-9781476676739","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
