Studies in Terror

"Acclaimed critic and broadcaster Jonathan Rigby brings his trademark wit and insight to bear on 130 key moments in screen horror. In this lavishly illustrated history, Rigby looks at silent masterworks like Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr Caligari to such 21st century milestones as The Descent and Let the Right One In. He also scrutinizes Universal Studios in the 1930s and Hammer Studios in the 1960s. The book features a unique combination of behind-the-scenes information, incisive criticism, essential credits and hundreds of rare images!"
