Summary: "This book argues that a succession of filmmakers working in horror have used the genre to challenge the status quo. Spanning the decades from the 1930s onwards this critical text examines the work of producers and directors as varied as George A. Romero, Pete Walker, Michael Reeves, Herman Cohen, Wes Craven and Brian Yuzna"-- [Extract taken from the back of the book] --
