This was one of the best general overviews of the history of horror film I’ve ever read. This book also devotes chapters to analyzing subjects like horror fans and fandom, the concept of genre movies and how those distinctions are made, and cinematic elements like sound and color. If you’re interested in reading about horror movies or are just a fan of the genre then you might find this book as fascinating as I did.
