商品簡介
Horror movies are back from the dead!
Blockbuster box office. Critical acclaim and Oscars recognition. From A Quiet Place to The Substance, the horror genre is enjoying a glorious--and gory--golden age. Screaming and Conjuring takes you behind the scenes and tracks the roots of this extraordinary renaissance, from the release of the groundbreaking Scream in 1996 to the arrival of 2013's The Conjuring, which spawned horror's initial multi-billion dollar franchise. Written by veteran entertainment journalist Clark Collis, Screaming and Conjuring is the first in-depth examination of this remarkably fertile and influential time for big screen tales of terror.
____________ In the early '90s, the horror movie genre was terrifyingly close to becoming box office death, as cinemagoers were exhausted from endless sequels, worn-out franchises, and tired tropes. Three decades on, the horror film has achieved a stunning turnaround. The genre is now widely regarded by Hollywood studios as a sure bet at the box office and by actors as one of the best ways to break into Hollywood (or breathe new life into their careers). The nearly two decades detailed in Screaming and Conjuring saw the release of among the most acclaimed, beloved, and all-around unnerving big screen fright flicks ever made, including The Sixth Sense, The Blair Witch Project, the Nicole Kidman-starring The Others, and Guillermo del Toro's Oscar-winning Pan's Labyrinth. The era also birthed a string of new horror franchises, many of which endure today, including Final Destination, 28 Days Later, Resident Evil, Saw, Hostel, Paranormal Activity, and Insidious. Screaming and Conjuring covers the often difficult and tortuous making of all these films (and many more), giving readers the exclusive lowdown on productions which were at times every bit as intense as what ended up on screen. Collis interviewed a myriad of genre notables for Screaming and Conjuring, everyone from actors Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween) and Neve Campbell (Scream), to directors Eli Roth (Hostel) and Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Drag Me to Hell), to legendary special effects artists such as Greg Nicotero (Scream, The Mist, The Walking Dead). Blood. Sweat. Tears. More blood. Allow Clark Collis to take you behind the scenes, and the scares, with this frighteningly fascinating history of horror!
