Vampires,
monsters, sadistic psychopaths, serial killers, vengeful ghosts, and
Satan himself have been frightening and entertaining filmgoers for
generations. This comprehensive, chronological film guide summarizes
the 101 most important horror movies ever produced, from the 1922
silent classic
Nosferatu to the low-budget, 1999 Sundance Film
Festival hit,
The Blair Witch Project. General editor Stephen
Jay Schneider presents film summaries, reviews from a wide array of
critics, cast and credit lists, and film production notes. The book's
200 illustrations include unforgettable still shots from the movies as
well as iconic film posters. Horror film buffs who open this book will
renew their chilling memories of Hitchcock thrillers like
Psycho and
The Birds, revisit Dr. Frankenstein's
castle with Boris Karloff, haunt the sewers of Paris with Lon Chaney's
Phantom
of the Opera, and recall Anthony Hopkins' most chilling role in
The
Silence of the Lambs. 101 Horror Movies is international in
scope, and covers films from Japan, Russia, Italy, Germany, France, and
Australia. Fans of horror movies will want to see all 101 films before
they die--and they'll also want to own this entertaining and
informative book.
