Although early cinema has long been a key area of research in film
studies, the origin and development of the horror film has been a
neglected subject for what is arguably one of the world's most
popular film genres. Using thousands of primary sources and
long-unseen illustrations, The Birth of the American Horror Film
examines a history that begins in colonial Salem, taking an
interdisciplinary approach to explore the influence of
horror-themed literature, theatre and visual culture in America,
and how that context established an amorphous structural foundation
for films produced between 1895 and 1915. Exhaustively researched,
bridging scholarship on Horror Studies and Early Cinema, The Birth
of the American Horror Film is the first major study dedicated to
this vital but often overlooked subject.
