Classic Monsters of the Movies: The Illustrated History of Vampire Movies (An Anthology of Over 100 Years of the Undead in Cinema) harkens back to the days when comparable, horror-movie volumes tiered store shelves, as penned by the studious likes of Denis Gifford and Alan G. Frank.
Classic Monsters' researchers/scribes Nige Burton and Jamie Jones emulate the encyclopedic approach with their 84-page, "fanged" compilation.
The installment holds pulse-pounding passages on Universal, Hammer, Independent International, United Artists and A.I.P., creeping and crawling with such nibbling titles as Nosferatu 1922/1979/2024, Dracula 1931 (both English & Spanish versions); Dracula's Daughter, Son of Dracula, House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula, London After Midnight, Mark of the Vampire, Return of the Vampire, Mother O'Reilly Meets the Vampire (Vampire Over London), The Vampire's Ghost, (Dan Curtis') Dracula 1974, Count Dracula 1977, Dracula 1979, Dracula 2006, The Return of Dracula, Blood of Dracula (Blood is My Heritage), (Horror of) Dracula, The Brides of Dracula, Dracula Prince of Darkness, Dracula Has Risen from the Grave, Taste the Blood of Dracula, The Scars of Dracula, Dracula A.D. 1972, The Satanic Rites of Dracula (Count Dracula and his Vampire Bride), (Jess Franco's) Count Dracula 1970, The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires, Kiss of the Vampire, Countess Dracula, The Vampire Lovers, Lust for a Vampire, Twins of Evil, Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter, Vampire Circus, Vampyr, Vampyres, House of Dark Shadows, Daughters of Darkness, (Andy Warhol's) Blood for Dracula, Black Sabbath (The Three Faces of Fear), Blood and Roses, El Vampiro (The Vampire's Coffin), The Blood Drinkers, I Drink Your Blood, Blood of Dracula's Castle, Dracula vs Frankenstein, The Werewolf Versus Vampire Woman, Count Yorga Vampire, Blacula, The Night Stalker, Martin, The Fearless Vampire Killers, Castle of Blood, Billy the Kid vs Dracula, Vampira (Old Dracula), Zoltan, Hound of Dracula (Dracula's Dog), Love at First Bite, Salem's Lot 1979, Fright Night 1985, The Lost Boys, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Interview with the Vampire 1994, Shadow of the Vampire, Dracula 2000, Van Helsing, From Dusk Till Dawn, 30 Days of Night, I Am Legend, Let Me In, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Renfield and a bloody batch more.
