Book Presentation:
Gary D. Rhodes re-enters the sepulcher of supernatural cinema, casting his lantern’s light on Universal’s Dracula’s Daughter (1936). With fellow tomb raider Tom Weaver, he discovers long-forgotten lore, presented herein with the film’s pressbook and an array of other freshly exhumed extras.
“A comprehensive tribute to one of Hollywood’s classic horror films. My grandmother Gloria Holden was a legend in her time, and would have been so very proud.”
—Laurie Holden, co-star of TV’s The Walking Dead
“Rhodes’ coverage of this classic production (and the endless minutiae with which he showers readers and fans) are a credit to this book yet typical of Rhodes’ acumen as a film scholar historian. His attention to detail opens floodgates for scholars and academics engaged in theory who rely on the sort of archival work that Rhodes makes appear effortless. Buy two copies of this volume—one for the shelf, the other for notations, research, dog-earing and pleasure-reading.”
—John Edgar Browning, Ph.D., co-author of Dracula in Visual Media
and editor of The Forgotten Writings of Bram Stoker
“As he always does (better than anyone), Gary D. Rhodes chronicles the convoluted history of the film (how the budget grew while still having the look of a ‘B’ film; how Bela Lugosi came and went in the cast—but still had to be paid), and why it took two years to finally get produced. Bravo, Gary. There is a reason your film scholarship is lauded everywhere. Dracula’s Daughter is another feather in your cap.”
—Richard Klemensen, editor of Little Shop of Horrors magazine
