Denis Gifford's richly illustrated survey traces the history of horror films from the earliest days of cinema through the 1970s. Gifford follows the genre from silent-era experiments and German expressionist classics to the Universal monster cycle, the British studio productions and the wave of horror that followed. Packed with stills, posters and lobby cards, the book looks at the famous monsters, the actors who played them, and the directors and studios that shaped the form. Written for fans who want to browse the history of frightening pictures in one place, it works both as a reference and as a nostalgic tour of the cinema of shadows and screams.
