Book: Horror Film Reader In time for Halloween comes a collection of writings on the movies that make us tremble and scream--and why and how they do that. Essays are devoted to the work of such directors as James Whale ("Frankenstein"), Todd Browning ("Freaks"), Robert Wise ("The Haunting"), Alfred Hitchcock, and Wes Craven. 150+ illustrations.
These essays offer a broad overview of the horror film genre, from the silent screen to Scream 3, demonstrating how it remains defiantly, frighteningly alive.
