Get ready to quake in fear with this revised and expanded edition
of our history of horror cinema. This chilling volume packs 640
pages full with the finest slashers, ghosts, zombies, cannibals,
and more, curating the very creepiest screen creations from the
flickering spooks of the 1920s to the special-effect terrors of the
21st century. Across 10 illustrated chapters, the compendium gets
under the skin of some of horror's favorite figures and themes,
whether the vampire, the haunted house, the female killer, or the
werewolf. Each classic device is explored in aesthetic and
historical terms, probing horror's manipulation of archetypal human
fears as much as socially and culturally specific anxieties. A
subsequent Top 50 movies section brings readers up close and
trembling with 50 horror showpieces, from black-and-white classics
like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Godzilla to Rosemary's Baby, The
Wicker Man, The Shining, The Blair Witch Project, and much, much
more. Throughout, the book's featured images include movie posters,
set designs, film stills, and on-set shots. About the series
Bibliotheca Universalis - Compact cultural companions celebrating
the eclectic TASCHEN universe!
