Book Description
On one fateful Halloween night, a television station near Denver, Colorado aired an adaptation of the infamous Gothic horror novel The Crypt of Blood. The spirited local theater troupe production of the classic vampire story quickly spiraled into high-strange weirdness, ghostly madness, and the disappearance of its cast and crew.What transpired on-stage and on-screen that night has become an urban legend, a myth relegated to internet forums, speculation among eccentric horror film collectors, and the ravings of the mad and paranoid. Some call it a publicity stunt by local filmmakers. Others decry it as a hoax. A few say the broadcast never aired at all.Those who have actually seen the special, however, insist it reveals something far more terrifying than any horror movie.You find yourself in possession of a copy of that dreaded broadcast, its cursed images seared into the tape of a well-worn VHS cassette. It's time to discover for yourself if this found-footage nightmare is as terrifying as its reputation, and if The Crypt of Blood: A Halloween TV Special is proof of a haunting-or something far worse-after all.

Dracula's Crypt
Author: Joseph Valente
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252026966
Category : Blood in literature
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
"An ingenious reappraisal of a classic text, Dracula's Crypt presents Stoker's novel as a subtly ironic commentary on England's preoccupation with racial purity. Probing psychobiographical, political, and cultural elements of Stoker's background and milieu, Joseph Valente distinguishes Stoker's viewpoint from that of his virulently racist, hypermasculine vampire hunters, showing how the author's dual Anglo-Celtic heritage and uncertain status as an Irish parvenu among London's theatrical elite led him to espouse a progressive racial ideology at odds with the dominant Anglo-Saxon supremacism. In the light of Stoker's experience, the shabby-genteel Count Dracula can be seen as a doppelganger, an ambiguous figure who is at once the blood-conscious landed aristocrat and the bloodthirsty foreign invader."--BOOK JACKET.

Strange Blood

Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN: 9781797494135
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
This is an overview of the most offbeat and underrated vampire movies spanning nine decades and 23 countries. Strange Blood encompasses well-known hits as well as obscurities that differ from your standard fang fare by turning genre conventions on their head. Here, vampires come in the form of cars, pets, aliens, mechanical objects, gorillas, or floating heads. And when they do look like a demonic monster or an aristocratic Count or Countess, they break the mold in terms of imagery, style, or setting. Leading horror writers, filmmakers, actors, distributors, academics, and programmers present their favorite vampire films through in-depth essays, providing background information, analysis, and trivia regarding the various films. Some of these stories are hilarious, some are terrifying, some are touching, and some are just plain weird. Not all of these movies line up with the critical consensus, yet they have one thing in common: they are unlike anything you've ever seen in the world of vampires. Just when you thought that the children of the night had become a tired trope, it turns out they have quite a diverse inventory after all.
