Horror poster art

"This splendid, if scary, collection of movie posters covers over 80 years of horror films and features all the classics of the genre from early silents such as Nosferatu (illustrated here with a hitherto unpublished poster) and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to contemporary blockbusters like Silence of the Lambs. The films are grouped by categories, such as Universal Studios' uniquely rich hoard of horror, the products of British horror specialists Hammer Films, Japanese horror movies, horror spoofs such as An American Warewolf in London, or serial killer movies." "Also featured is the work of directors who are wholly or partly remembered for their contribution to the genre."--Jacket.
