Famous for being deathly serious, the vampire genre has a
consistent yet often critically overlooked subgenre-the comedic
spoof and satire. This is the first book dedicated entirely to
documenting and analyzing the vampire comedy on film and
television. Various types of comedy are discussed, outlining the
important differences between spoofing, serious-spoofing, parody
and satire. Seminal films such as Abbott and Costello Meet
Frankenstein, Love at First Bite, Vampire in Brooklyn, Dracula:
Dead and Loving It and What We Do In the Shadows are featured. More
importantly, this book demonstrates how comedy is central to both
the common perception of the vampire and the genre's ever-evolving
character, making it an essential read for those interested in the
laughing undead and creatures that guffaw in the night.
