The Palgrave Encyclopedia of American Horror Film Shorts chronicles
for the first time over 1,500 horror and horror-related short
subjects theatrically released between 1915, at the dawn of the
feature film era when shorts became a differentiated category of
cinema, and 1976, when the last of the horror-related shorts were
distributed to movie theaters. Individual entries feature plot
synopses, cast and crew information, and - where possible -
production histories and original critical reviews. A small number
of the short subjects catalogued herein are famous; such as those
featuring the likes of Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, The Three
Stooges, Bugs Bunny, and Daffy Duck; but the bulk are forgotten.
The diverse content of these shorts includes ghosts, devils,
witches, vampires, skeletons, mad scientists, monsters, hypnotists,
gorillas, dinosaurs, and so much more, including relevant
nonfiction newsreels. Their rediscovery notably rewrites many
chapters of the history of horror cinema, from increasing our
understanding of the sheer number horror films that were produced
and viewed by audiences to shedding light on particular subgenres
and specific narrative and historical trends.
