Synopsis

The FORGOTTEN HORRORS series of film-commentary books taps author Michael H. Price's backlog of monographs, magazine columns and articles, and film-festival curatorial notes for a whopping 360-page anthology of materials long out-of-print. Centerpieces include surveys of Val Lewton's acclaimed chillers of the 1940s, of Universal Pictures' less noticeable chillers and offbeat oddities, and of Western movies indebted to the great frontier painters. The book also veers away at strategic points from the more rigidly defined horror movies to consider a wealth of art-museum topics, of comic-book artistry, and of indigenous music -- all in the service of FORGOTTEN HORRORS' original argument that "horror is where you find it." The deepened context afford a vivid portrait of Price and his late colleague, George E. Turner, as scholars of the Popular Culture who also happen to take one essential genre seriously enough to place it in a broader perspective.
