Like a lovingly guided midnight tour, this book covers the
seductive shadows of the most fascinating horror films and
melodramas from the 1930s and 1940s. From the bloody censorship
battles behind 1935's Bride of Frankenstein, to the sexual
controversies of 1941's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and the gruesome
Nazi atrocities of 1943's Women in Bondage, this book delves into
newly excavated research to tell the behind-the-scenes sagas of
some of Hollywood's most frightening films. Peek behind the scenes,
revel in on-the-set anecdotes and get a look at the script notes
illuminating characters like WereWolf of London, Richard III,
Panther Woman and Rasputin. Included are profiles of the performers
and filmmakers who made the nightmares feel all too real in the
darkened theaters of yesteryear, and an examination of the factors
that have kept these films popular so many decades later.
