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.
