Summary: Article focuses on the actor Christopher Lee who, although best known as Dracula, had a varied screen career. Parish and Pitts note that Lee performed more genre roles than any other actor in film history. The authors attempt to trace the progress and evolution of Lee's career, paying particular attention to his little-known, non-genre roles, using quotations from the actor's numerous published interviews over the years. Parish and Pitt also highlight that Lee's first horror film role was the psychological drama "Alias John Preston"

Summary: Aimed at teachers and students new to the subject, Studying Horror Cinema is a comprehensive survey of the genre from silent cinema to its twenty-first century resurgence. Structured as a series of thirteen case studies of easily accessible films, it covers the historical, production, and cultural context of each film, together with detailed textual analysis of key sequences. Sitting alongside such acknowledged classics as Psycho and Rosemary’s Baby are analyses of influential non-English language films as Kwaidan, Bay of Blood, and Let the Right One In. The author concludes with a chapter on 2017’s blockbuster It, the most financially successful horror film of all time, making Studying Horror Cinema the most up-to-date overview of the genre available. -- publisher's web site
