Everything inside the horror fan needs: from the publication of Shelley's Frankenstein to the death of Boris Karloff. Ghoulies and ghosties, the pageantry of death, gothic horror (the archetypes Frankenstein and vampirism), Dracula, Nosferatu, Jekyll and Hyde, a great black and white photo section, monster terror, King Kong, monster films, psychological thrillers, the school of shudder, Rosemary's Baby, Polanski and a fantastic filmography up to the 70s in the end. This is classic non-fiction stuff where the horror movie came from. Highly recommended!
