TV Gothic - The Golden Age of Small Screen Horror (Paperback)

Most horror film fans are familiar with the classics, from the early Universal archetypes to the Hammer landmarks-all of which have been celebrated in countless books and magazines. But what about the parallel universe of television horror? The series, made-for-TV-movies and specials? With detailed coverage of shows from Britain, America and Europe, this book chronicles the small-screen appearances of Dracula and Frankenstein's monster, adaptations of stories by Edgar Allan Poe and M.R. James, performances of stars like Boris Karloff and Vincent Price, groundbreaking series like The Television Ghost, Lights Out andDark Shadows, and such memorable movies as The Night Stalker, The Norliss Tapes and 'Salem's Lot, along with unearthed gems like The Ghost of Sierra de Cobre and Mrs. Amworth. The work of such key directors as Dan Curtis and Lawrence Gordon Clark is examined.
