Work Description
A youth-oriented book about horror films, their history and appeal. Includes many color and black-and-white photos.
From back cover: WHY do we watch horror films? Many people are quite happy to sit in a dark theater watching frightening and sometimes bloodthirsty films which bring their worst nightmares to life on screen. This lively book tells us about the origins of some of the most famous horror stories and films, such as Frankenstein and Dracula. Also, it explains how spectacular special effects have added to the appeal of recent horror films, such as the Nightmare on Elm Street series, which have made the horror character Freddy Krueger a modern cult figure.
