505 0  Introduction: on the trail of the pontianak -- Popular 
       horror and the anticolonial imaginary -- Troubling gender 
       with the pontianak -- Race, religion, and Malay identities
       -- Who owns the kampung? heritage, history, and 
       postcolonial space -- Animism as form: a pontianak theory 
       of the forest 
520    As famous in Southeast Asia as Dracula is in the West, the
       pontianak is a terrifying, fanged female vampire who is a 
       much-loved and much-feared monster in Malay cultures. In 
       traditional folklore, the pontianak is a woman who has 
       died as a result of male violence or childbirth and whose 
       return upsets the gender, political, and social norms of 
       Malay society. A central figure in traditional Malay 
       culture, the pontianak was also a crucial figure in 
       postcolonial Malaysia and Singapore, and a staple of their
       national cinemas. The return to pre-colonial myth during 
       the founding of the postcolonial nations of Malaysia and 
       Singapore reveals cinema's role in popular culture's 
       depiction of and engagement with the tensions of 
       decolonization. Rosalind Galt argues that the postcolonial
       pontianak registers a series of intersecting anxieties: 
       about femininity and modernity; about local and 
       transnational cultural influences; about the relationship 
       of Islam to indigenous beliefs; and about urbanization and
       globalization. Rosalind Galt begins her study in colonial 
       Malay when the film industry was an amalgam of Indian, 
       Chinese, Malaysian, and British influences and follows the
       pontianak film from the 1950s to Singapore's independence 
       in 1965 to the present where it has reemerged in Malaysia 
       as religious-based censorship has loosened in the 2000s. 
       In addition to the films themselves, Galt considers how 
       these films traveled around the region, and their 
       reception by fans around the world.
