In the second half of the 20th century, landmark works of horror
film history were as much the product of enterprising regional
filmmakers as of the major studios. From backwoods Utah to the
Louisiana bayous to the outer boroughs of New York, independent,
regional films like Night of the Living Dead, Last House on the
Left, I Spit on Your Grave, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The
Evil Dead stood at the vanguard of horror cinema. This overview of
regionally produced horror and science fiction films includes
interviews with 13 directors and producers who operated far from
mainstream Hollywood, along with a state-by-state listing of
regionally produced genre films made between 1959 and 1990.
Highlighting some of the most influential horror films of the past
50 years, this informative volume celebrates not only regional
filmmaking, but also a cultural regionalism that is in danger of
vanishing.
