By William K. Everson.

"The horror film genre (almost as difficult to define as classic) is a branch of filmmaking that has produced some magnificent films, but should have produced far more. More than any other kind of film, it depends for its ultimate effect on the scarying of the audience by manipulating their emotions."

William K. Everson takes a look at the history of this unique, fascinating genre from the days of the silent film to The Exorcist.

Hardcover, 8 -in. x 11-in., 248 pages, B&W.
