| book description |
In the development of horror cinema, the 1940s were a pivotal yet misunderstood era, both in Hollywood and abroad. This history and filmography reframes the discussion of these films, highlighting their artistic growth while examining how World War II changed the course of Hollywood and horror cinema. In addition to popular chillers from Universal Films and celebrated works overseen by RKO-Radio Pictures producer Val Lewton, authors Mark Clark and Bryan Senn cover influential pictures often overlooked by scholars, including groundbreaking movies from Spain, India, Japan, Czechoslovakia, and around the globe. Meticulously researched and fully illustrated, this book is an important addition to the literature on horror cinema for scholars and fans alike.
