In /Vampires, Race, and Transnational Hollywoods/, Dale Hudson explores 
the movement of transnational Hollywood’s vampires, between low-budget 
quickies and high-budget franchises, as it appropriates visual styles 
from German, Mexican and Hong Kong cinemas and off-shores to Canada, 
Philippines, and South Africa. As the vampire’s popularity has swelled, 
vampire film and television has engaged with changing discourses around 
race and identity not always addressed in realist modes. Here, teen 
vampires comfort misunderstood youth, chador-wearing skateboarder 
vampires promote transnational feminism, African American and Mexican 
American vampires recover their repressed histories. Looking at 
contemporary hits like /True Blood/, /Twilight/, /Underworld/and /The 
Strain/, classics such as Universal’s /Dracula/and /Drácula/, and 
miscegenation melodramas like /The Cheat/and /The Sheik/, the book 
reconfigures Hollywood historiography and tradition as fundamentally 
transnational, offering fresh interpretations of vampire media as 
trans-genre sites for political contestation.
