Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In Undead in the West: Vampires, Zombies, Mummies, and Ghosts on the Cinematic Frontier, Cynthia J. Miller and A. Bowdoin Van Riper have assembled a collection of essays that explore the many tropes and themes through which undead Westerns make the genreâs inner plagues and demons visible, and lay siege to a frontier tied to myths of strength, ingenuity, freedom, and independence. The volume is divided into three sections: âReanimating Classic Western Tropesâ examines traditional Western characters, symbolism, and plot devices and how they are given new life in undead Westerns; âThe Moral Order Under Siegeâ explores the ways in which the undead confront classic values and morality tales embodied in Western films; and âAnd Hell Followed with Himâ looks at justice, retribution, and retaliation at the hands of undead angels and avenger.
The subjects explored here run the gamut from such B films as Curse of the Undead and Billy the Kid vs. Dracula to A-list features like From Dusk âtil Dawn and Jonah Hex, as well as animated films (Rango) and television programs (The Walking Dead and Supernatural). Other films discussed include Sam Raimiâs Bubba Ho-Tep, John Carpenterâs Vampires, George Romeroâs Land of the Dead, and Sergio Leoneâs Once Upon a Time in the West. Featuring several illustrations and a filmography, Undead in the West will appeal to film scholars, especially those interested in hybrid genres, as well as fans of the Western and the supernatural in cinema.
