Tracing the vampire’s path on screen, this book begins with genre-shaping classics like Nosferatu, Dracula, and The Hunger, while also unearthing overlooked gems that shaped the mythology. It then moves into the modern era, exploring how filmmakers reimagined the creature—whether through the romantic pull of Twilight, the satire of What We Do in the Shadows, or the brooding complexity of True Blood. Together, it maps how vampire cinema has mirrored cultural fears, desires, and shifting ideas of identity, sexuality, and morality.
