NEW APPROACHES TO FILM GENRE SERIES EDITOR: BARRY KEITH GRANT THE HORROR FILM AN INTRODUCTION
"This book is a highly concise and comprehensive survey of a genre still influential today. Historically informed, with relevant use of archive material, it contains insightful readings of great value." TONY WILLIAMS, SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY CARBONDALE
The Horror Film examines the ways in which horror movies have been produced, received, and interpreted by filmmakers, audiences, and critics throughout the medium's history, from the 1920s to the present. This brief volume offers a broad, historical introduction to cinematic horror, outlining and investigating important issues in the production, consumption, and cultural interpretation of the genre.
Combining historical narrative with close readings of several significant horror films - including Frankenstein, Cat People, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Halloween, and Bram Stoker's Dracula - The Horror Film will be the definitive read for any movie-goer who thrills to a great scare.
