A History of Horror explores how the horror film fits into the Hollywood studio system and how its enormous success in American and European culture expanded globally. Dixon examines key periods in the horror film- in which basic precepts of the genre were established, then burnished into conveniently reliable and maleable forms, and then, after collapsing into parody, rose again to create noew levels of intensity and menace. Supported by rare stills from classic films, this book brings more than 50 timeless horror films into clear focus, zooms in on todays top horror web sites, and champions the stars, directors, and subgenres that make horror films so exciting and popular.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.43616 Di Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.43616 Di Checked In Add Copy to MyList
