An Excellent Horror Film Compendum
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
As a major horror fan, I can tell you that I've read a lot of essays and books on the genre. While there are many books that deal with specifics in horror films, vampires, serial killers, etc, "DARK PARADES" is the the first to discuss a unifying theory of all horror films: The Spectacle of Isolation. The book begins by drawing parallels between Avant-Garde Cinema and Horror movies, both on the opposite ends of commercial cinema. Avant-Garde representing "HIGH" culture while Horror represents "Low" culture. Later chapters in the book deal with specific directors oevres, specifically, the works of HITCHCOCK, RAIMI and CRONENBERG. Highly recommended if you're a screenwriter, director, actor or whether you just love to watch Horror films.
