The Making of Horror Movies: Key Figures Who Established the Genre - Hardcover
Horror is like comedy in that what affects one person leaves another cold. Like comedy, too, it doesn't get much critical attention. The first Academy Awards took place in 1919 and it wasn't until 1973 that a horror film was nominated for best picture. Whatever the cultural or your personal thoughts on horror films, there is no denying one thing. It's the most metaphorical of genres. Romero used zombies as a critique of capitalist "shop-til-you-drop" attitudes. Godzilla emerged from the fear of nuclear energy. And of course Dr. Frankenstein and his monster serve as warnings of scientific hubris. The Making of Horror Movies, suitable both for fans and casuals, covers the diverse offerings of the genre. Folk horror, slashers, Hammer horror, sci-fi horror, psychological thrillers, zombie movies, evil children or the living dead are all included, as are the actors and directors who helped create and shape the genre.
