商品簡介
Clark, a film historian, and Senn, a psychometrist, offer a filmography of every horror film released in the US during the 1960s, a period of transition and expansion for the genre. After providing context on the decade, including economic, technological, and political developments that affected it, and why and how it emerged as a key time for horror cinema, they review about 600 films in alphabetical order, discussing production history and background and providing critical analysis. This main section is followed by shorter entries for films that were not released theatrically in the US and summaries of most science fiction and fantasy films of the decade. Films include The Birds, Black Sunday, Brides of Dracula, Carnival of Souls, The Haunting, The Innocents, Mania, Night of the Living Dead, Peeping Tom, Psycho, Rosemary's Baby, Targets, Village of the Damned, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, and Planet of the Apes.
