✦内容简介——

一个世纪的经典吸血鬼电影——海报、剧照和艺术作品——从《摩瑙》到《真爱如血》等等

这场视觉盛宴庆祝了经典吸血鬼电影-主流和小众-通过许多丰富多彩的方式来宣传和消费关键电影。

1922年3月，F.W. Murnau令人难忘的电影Nosferatu在柏林首映。布拉姆·斯托克的遗孀弗洛伦斯试图起诉这家制作公司侵犯版权，但不得不接受法院的命令，销毁所有的照片和底片。然而，这部电影一直在复活，现在被认为是所有吸血鬼电影中第一部，也是伟大的一部作品，是黑暗电影王朝的奠基者。

从诺斯费拉图(Nosferatu)到好莱坞的《德古拉和后代》(Dracula and offspring, 1931-48);从哈默的《德古拉》/《德古拉的恐怖》及其续集(1958-74)到谢里丹·勒·法努的故事《卡米拉》;从畅销小说《塞勒姆的土地》和《夜访吸血鬼》，到那些脱下斗篷、世袭头衔和时代服饰的吸血鬼，他们变成了各式各样的小镇怪人、瘾君子、少年、精神病患者、乡巴佬、时尚达人、喜剧演员，甚至是漫画书中的英雄(1975-2022)。

这本书中充斥着剧照、海报、艺术品和印刷书籍——其中许多已经很久没有见过天日了——作者是被称为“每日之凡·赫尔辛”的文化历史学家和哥特鉴赏家克里斯托弗·弗雷林。

克里斯托弗·弗雷林(生于1946年)是公认的哥特小说和恐怖电影的研究者。他的研究《吸血鬼》(1977,1990,2016)和他的经典四集电视连续剧《噩梦:恐怖的诞生》(1996)帮助哥特恐怖从边缘走向主流。他是《弗兰肯斯坦》和《西方往事》的作者

A century of classic vampire cinema―in posters, stills and artwork―from Murnau to True Blood and beyond

This visual feast celebrates classic vampire cinema―mainstream and niche―through the many colorful ways in which the key films have been marketed and consumed.

F.W. Murnau's haunting film Nosferatu had its premiere in Berlin in March 1922. Bram Stoker's widow, Florence, tried hard to sue the production company for breach of copyright but had to settle in the end for a court order to destroy all prints and negatives. The film kept resurrecting, though, and is now considered the first, and one of the greatest, of all vampire movies―the founder of a dynasty of prints of darkness.

The bloodline has spread from Nosferatu to Hollywood's Dracula and progeny (1931–48); from Hammer's Dracula/Horror of Dracula and sequels (1958–74) to versions of Sheridan Le Fanu's story “Carmilla” and other lesbian vampires (1970–2020); from the bestselling novels 'Salem's Lot and Interview with the Vampire to vampires who have shed their capes, hereditary titles and period trappings to become assorted smalltown oddballs, addicts, delinquents, psychopaths, rednecks, fashionistas, gay icons, comedians and even comic-book heroes (1975–2022).

This book is dripping with stills, posters, artworks, press books―many of which have not seen the light of day for a very long time―and is authored by cultural historian and connoisseur of the Gothic Christopher Frayling, who has been called “the Van Helsing de nos jours.”

Christopher Frayling (born 1946) is a recognized authority on Gothic fiction and horror movies. His study Vampyres (1978, 1990, 2016) and his classic four-part television series Nightmare: The Birth of Horror (1996) have helped to move Gothic horror from margin to mainstream. He is the author of Frankenstein and Once upon a Time in the West
