{"product_id":"the-vampire-film-9780231162012","title":"The Vampire Film","description":"This introductory volume offers an elegant analysis of the enduring appeal of the cinematic vampire. From Georges Méliès' early cinematic experiments to \u003ci\u003eTwilight\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLet the Right One In\u003c\/i\u003e, the history of vampires in cinema can be organized by a handful of governing principles that help make sense of this movie monster's remarkable fecundity. Among these principles are that the cinematic vampire is invariably about sex and the vexed human relationship with technology, and that the vampire is always an overdetermined body condensing what a culture considers other. This volume includes in-depth studies of films including Powell's \u003ci\u003eA Fool There Was\u003c\/i\u003e, Franco's \u003ci\u003eVampyros Lesbos\u003c\/i\u003e, Cronenberg's \u003ci\u003eRabid\u003c\/i\u003e, Kümel's \u003ci\u003eDaughters of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e, and Merhige's \u003ci\u003eShadow of the Vampire\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Jeffrey Weinstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42980610277494,"sku":"9780231162012","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/the-vampire-film-9780231162012","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
