The Blood is the Life: The Vampire Cinema from Nosferatu to Salem’s Lot edited by Eric McNaughton and Darrell Buxton

We Belong Dead – Dec 2024 – 473 Pages

Since the early days of cinema vampires have always been a source of fascination for filmmakers.

Nosferatu is rightly regarded as one of the classics of the silent screen and with the imminent release of a new version of Nosferatu we have come full circle. This book looks at a century of filmic bloodsuckers.

From the classic black and white films such as Bela Lugosi’s Dracula, Mark of the Vampire, Dracula’s Daughter to the gory delights of Hammer’s Dracula saga and other vampiric interpretations such as Kiss of the Vampire, Vampire Circus and Twins of Evil to 80s classics such as Fright Night and Lost Boys right up to such cinematic bloodsuckers as Renfield, Last Voyage of the Demeter and Abigail.

Large format, full colour and profusely illustrated with hundreds of posters, lobby cards, stills and behind the scenes shots this will be a delight for any fan of the vampire cinema.
