- Book Synopsis
- The second in a two-volume set, this book presents horror fans with a treasure trove of information on every Hollywood horror movie produced during the "second wave" of screen scares (1940-1946). Entries on 113 films provide detailed production histories (derived from trade-publication reports), contemporary press hype, casts, scenarios, critiques, and behind-the-scenes production tidbits. Postscripts detailing noteworthy events that followed a picture's theatrical run, such as sequels or award nominations, also are featured. An appendix presents the first accurate, detailed history of the infamous "lost" chiller from New York, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1945). Profusely illustrated and painstakingly documented, this complete history of the second decade of Hollywood horror is essential reading for horror fans and cinema historians alike.
