Horror Cinema Hardcover – March 25, 2012

Great book

Exactly as described. Love this book. Arrived earlier than expected. I highly recommend seller and plan on being a repeat customer.

Saw this book on sale and bought it on a whim. I ended up being more than pleased with the book when it arrived. It's a gorgeous coffee table style book with lots to read but even more to look at. I even showed it to a few (horror movie loving) friends who later purchased it themselves. Great buy!

Very nice book. Great pictures and lot of information altought not very deep.The printing is very nice, lot of inverse printing (letters white and sheets black).It is a book for browsing little by little before going to bed. I am pleased

I found this volume in a Taschen store just off Rodeo Dr in Beverly Hills. Since it was so modestly priced I snapped it right up. The photos are great and are expertly reproduced. And, with a collection of other books of this type I was happy and surprised to find images I've never seen before.There's a whimsical shot that was made during the production of 1959's "House on Haunted Hill" where Vincent Price is dancing with that skeleton that is such an integral part of the plot. It must have been a "horsing around" moment.However, there are errors that crop up in the text. In describing the memorable makeup Lon Chaney used to create the face of Erik, the phantom of the Paris opera, the author refers to "puddy." Could he have meant putty?And, when introducing Howard Hawks' "The Thing" he says that the 1950 release capitalized on Russia's launch of Sputnik.The Russian Sputnik was not launched until 1957.Nevertheless, the serious horror film fan will want to add this volume to his library. The text errors should have been noticed by a publisher like Taschen.

This book is informative about the origins, scope, and variations of the Horror genre throughout cinema's history. It features amazing photographs from well-known films, along with chilling quotes from artists and directly from horror films.
