About this title

Synopsis

Two seasoned, top horror experts lead the way through more than a century of fear with authority, humor, and encyclopedic knowledge.

Packed with images of the most terrifying scenes in cinema history, this fully updated volume—with reviews right up to 2017—traces the genre decade by decade, providing a witty and informative critique of more than 300 movies from all around the world, plus TV series and literature too. Kim Newman and James Marriott discuss both neglected gems and big-budget duds, from Frankenstein and Peeping Tom to It Follows, Get Out, The Babadook, and Mother!, as well as material from countries as far afield as Japan and Brazil. These movies will continue to shock and delight viewers with their inventiveness and flair. Diehard and new horror fans will enjoy this superb, eye-opening look at their favorite genre.
