Anyone with an interest in vampire film should have this on hand. However, it's partially undone by some careless spelling errors (count the number of times "its" is used instead of "it's"), the most hilarious of which has Dracula being destroyed by a bolt of "lightening"! Another problem is the reviews themselves. They're far too, well, positive! Sure, they're being judged by a different standard, but few fans of the genre find that much redeeming in the Langella "Dracula", which is here given four bones!

Melton starts off the book with a major mistake! In his review of ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, he states Dracula (Bela Lugosi) is killed by sunlight! DUH! Hey, WATCH THE MOVIE! Dracula is killed by the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney, Jr.), as they both plunge off a balcony into the sea, Dracula (as a bat) clutched in the Wolf Man's claws. This just goes to show how sloppily researched and error-laden ALL of Melton's vampire books are. Buyers beware -- you can't trust the information in these books!

I love vampire and other horror films, and each time I come across a vampire film I check it out in this book. I've also found lots of films that I going to buy, if I can find them.
