A History of Horror
A History of Horror | Wheeler W. Dixon
6 posts | 1 to read
Ever since horror leapt from popular fiction to the silver screen in the late 1890s, viewers have experienced fear and pleasure in exquisite combination. A History of Horror, with rare stills from classic films, is the only book to offer a comprehensive survey of this ever-popular film genre. Chronologically examining over fifty horror films from key periods, this one-stop sourcebook unearths the historical origins of legendary characters and explores how the genre fits into the Hollywood studio system and how its enormous success in American and European culture expanded globally over time.

I love these shows! Watching one while I have a slow start to my Sunday morning. There will be more, too.

I thought I‘d put up a whole bunch of what I‘d watched mostly over the weekend, especially since none of this particular stuff was earth-shattering even though it was entertaining. So much stuff to watch, I can‘t help myself.

How appropriate that a book with horror in its title is included in this photo of the flood damage to the Clendenin Library, part of the Kanawha County Public Library system in West Virginia.
