"'I think it’s almost infinitely flexible,' says the cultural historian @christopherfrayling — on why the myth of the vampire has gripped our imaginations for so long. It’s been around in some form or other for millennia, but the modern bloodsucker stems from reports of eastern European peasants rising from the grave in the early 18th century. Since then, according to Frayling, vampires 'shape-shifted' to 'lounge-lizard aristocrats seducing people' a century later. 'Then, with the movies, they eventually shed their cloaks, and from the mid-20th century onwards, addicts, psychopaths, lovelorn outsiders, cult leaders, lesbian and gay icons… you name it, the vampire has become it.'"⁠ ⁠ Read Killian Fox's in-depth review of 'Vampire Cinema: The First One Hundred Years' —published by @reelartpress — @guardian via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #vampirecinema #vampire #dracula #nosferatu #murnau #halloween #monster #filmhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CkJWdPgphvv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎃 Get ready for Halloween with the newest from @reelartpress & @christopherfrayling ! 🧛‍♂️ #Repost @artbookhwla ・・・Newest addition to our Film table & just in time for spooky season: “Vampire Cinema: The First One Hundred Years” 🧛‍♂️ 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. This book is dripping with stills, posters, artwork, press books—many of which have not seen the light of day for a 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.” #horrormovies #vampire #vampirecinema https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj0IxqVuBYM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
