Horror films can be profound fables of human nature and
important works of art, yet many people dismiss them out of hand.
"Horror and the Horror Film" conveys a mature appreciation of
horror films along with a comprehensive view of their narrative
strategies, their relations to reality and fantasy, and their
cinematic power. The volume covers the entire genre, considering
every kind of monster in it - including the human.
After defining horror and thoroughly introducing the genre, the
text offers a rich survey of all of the horror film's subgenres,
before concluding with a look at the related genres of horror
comedy and horror documentary. International in scope, its survey
extends from the first horror films (1896) to the present,
discussing more than 350 movies. Through its comprehensive and
detailed investigation of the genre, "Horror and the Horror Film"
offers a compelling, insightful look at how the horror film
frightens and revolts the viewer, its reasons for doing so, and the
art of portraying and evoking fear, and will be a great asset to
film scholars, horror enthusiasts and readers yet to be convinced
of the importance of the genre.
