Zombies, vampires, and mummies are frequent stars of American
horror films. But what does their cinematic omnipresence and
audiences' hunger for such films tell us about American views of
death? Here, Outi Hakola investigates the ways in which American
living-dead films have addressed death through different narrative
and rhetorical solutions during the twentieth century. She focuses
on films from the 1930s, including "Dracula," "The Mummy," and
"White Zombie," films of the 1950s and 1960s such as "Night of the
Living Dead "and "The Return of Dracula," and more recent fare like
"Bram Stoker's Dracula," "The Mummy," and "Resident Evil."
Ultimately, the book succeeds in framing the tradition of living
dead films, discussing the cinematic processes of addressing the
films' viewers, and analyzing the films' socio-cultural negotiation
with death in this specific genre.
