This guide steers an illuminating path through a genre that has, since the early days of cinema, split off into many sub-divisions — folk horror, slasher movies, Hammer, sci-fi horror, psychological thrillers, zombie movies, among others. This book also gives concise biographies of the many actors and directors who saw their careers, for better or worse, defined by their association with horror movies. (STL184610) (C: 0-1-1)
