In Undead in the West: Vampires, Zombies, Mummies, and Ghosts on
the Cinematic Frontier, Cynthia J. Miller and A. Bowdoin Van Riper
have assembled a collection of essays that explore the many tropes
and themes through which undead Westerns make the genre's inner
plagues and demons visible, and lay siege to a frontier tied to
myths of strength, ingenuity, freedom, and independence. The volume
is divided into three sections: "Reanimating Classic Western
Tropes" examines traditional Western characters, symbolism, and
plot devices and how they are given new life in undead Westerns;
"The Moral Order Under Siege" explores the ways in which the undead
confront classic values and morality tales embodied in Western
films; and "And Hell Followed with Him" looks at justice,
retribution, and retaliation at the hands of undead angels and
avenger. The subjects explored here run the gamut from such B films
as Curse of the Undead and Billy the Kid vs. Dracula to A-list
features like From Dusk 'til Dawn and Jonah Hex, as well as
animated films (Rango) and television programs (The Walking Dead
and Supernatural). Other films discussed include Sam Raimi's Bubba
Ho-Tep, John Carpenter's Vampires, George Romero's Land of the
Dead, and Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West. Featuring
several illustrations and a filmography, Undead in the West will
appeal to film scholars, especially those interested in hybrid
genres, as well as fans of the Western and the supernatural in
cinema.
