About
[back cover synopsis] The author, well known to film buffs as an original and cogent critic, brings his encyclopedic knowledge of films and film makers to this outstanding history and analysis of the horror film. Whether discussing the erotic aspects of King Kong, examining the works of Val Lewton, contrasting the director's attitude toward the monster in Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein, accounting for the special genius of Lon Chaney, or comparing the various visions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Mr. Clarens entertains as he enlightens. His fascinating study of a popular genre explains both the genre and its popularity.
