Quatrième de couverture : From folk tales of the Devil buying human souls in New Hampshire to an ambulatory alien vegetable terrorisisng the crew of a remote scientific outpost, fantasy and horror film has explred every facet of human (and not so human) nature. From the earliest days of cinéma, visions of blood-thirsty vampires, mustry mummies, fanged wolf men, cat people, weird women and bolt-necked patchwork monstrosities have stalked, stomped, crept and lurched their way across popular consciousness.
Journey with us as we continue our exploration of the most memorable scares of the silver screen. We explore the development of forty key films, with detailed analysis and biographies of all those involved in their creation from the writers and directors through the composers, cast and technical crew.
Revisit the days when the names of Karloff, Chaney Jr., Lugosi and Atwill ruled the shadows on the screen, and when the myths and legends of iconic monsters were created, developed, and became established in popular culture. Come with us back to the time of the Silver Scream...
