Examines the history and appeal of horror films, discussing examples ranging from the silent "Frankenstein" of 1910 to recent hits such as "The Lost Boys" and "The Witches of Eastwick"
I really enjoyed this small pocket guide on horror with its many great coloured movie stills. The author really manages to shine a light on the fascination of horror: the Frankenstein story, Dracula arises, the werewolves bite, Zombies dead or alive, mad mummies, magnificent monsters, devils and demons, ghosts and haunted houses, human horrors, nightmare nasties... the book dates from 1992 and gives you much inspiration how to satisfy your horror appetite. Really recommended!
