Dracula is a recognized, resilient and recurrent cultural property. He is idolized, loved, vilified and hated as a multifaceted, perennial narrative focus that involves the interplay between film-as-art and its psychosocial milieu. Dracula's movies can thus be read as a cultural barometer, reflecting the culture we create and re-create in his many cinematic guises: an object of attraction and terror, antihero and villain, lover and monster, even victim and stooge. This book follows Dracula's cinematic journey, exploring how he continues to tap into the ever-changing collective psyche of his viewers. Many of those viewers may have entertained the thought that the fearful bite of the vampire might just be a worthwhile price to pay for the empowerment of being one.
