Dr. Schneider draws upon a detailed and telling analysis of eleven
well-known horror stories: Dracula, Frankenstein, The Phantom of
the Opera, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Invisible Man, The
Incredible Shrinking Man, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Birds,
Forbidden Planet, Vertigo, and Alien. He finds that a spiritual
understanding of life can be attained through horror. Classic
horror steers a middle path between fanaticism and despair: the
path of wonderment. Horror teaches us that the human personality is
paradoxical, that revulsion and disgust are the obverse of
excitement and freedom, and that both poles are vital to
individual, social, and ecological well-being.
