Vampire Cinema: The First One Hundred Years is a sumptuous and visually immersive cultural history of the vampire on film, authored by renowned Gothic scholar Christopher Frayling. This hardcover volume celebrates more than a century of classic and niche vampire cinema—from early European masterpieces like Nosferatu to contemporary reinventions in television and film—through striking stills, posters, artworks, and press materials, many seen here for the first time. Frayling’s authoritative narrative traces how the vampire has evolved on screen, reflecting broader cultural anxieties, aesthetic shifts, and enduring fascinations with the undead. Vampire Cinema is both a richly illustrated tribute and a thoughtful exploration of how this mythic figure became one of cinema’s most captivating icons.
