Titles covered were released between 1973 and 2010, a period coinciding with the revival of the long-dormant Australian film industry in the early 1970s, and continuing into the second wave of genre production spurred by the international success of the 2005 chiller Wolf Creek, The Cars That Ate Paris, The Last Wave, Roadgames, Razorback, Outback Vampires, Queen of the Damned, Black Water, and The Reef are among the titles represented. Each film is covered in a chapter that includes a cast and credits list, release information, contemporary reviews and DVD availability, as well as a synopsis and in-depth notes about the story, filmmaking techniques, acting performances, recurring themes and motifs, and overall effectiveness of the film as a work of horror.

Found footage horror films : Fear and the appearance of reality / Heller-Nicholas, Alexandra Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Company Inc, 2014.
Call No: 735.2 HELAuthor: Heller-Nicholas, Alexandra Place: Jefferson, NCPublisher: McFarland & Company IncPubDate: 2014PhysDes: 244 p ; 23 cmSubject: HORROR FILMS ; HEALTH AND SAFETY FILMS ; SNUFF FILMS ; REALISM IN FILMS ; BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, THE (US, Daniel Myrick & Eduardo Sanchez, 1999) ; PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (US, Oren Peli, 2007) Summary: As the horror subgenre du jour, found footage horror’s amateur filmmaking look has made it available to a range of budgets. Surviving by adapting to technological and cultural shifts and popular trends, found footage horror is a successful and surprisingly complex experiment in blurring the lines between quotidian reality and horror’s dark and tantalizing fantasies.
Found Footage Horror Films explores the subgenre’s stylistic, historical and thematic development. It examines the diverse prehistory beyond Man Bites Dog (1992) and Cannibal Holocaust (1980), paying attention to the safety films of the 1960s, the snuff-fictions of the 1970s, and to television reality horror hoaxes and mockumentaries during the 1980s and 1990s in particular. It underscores the importance of The Blair Witch Project (1999) and Paranormal Activity (2007), and considers YouTube’s popular rise in sparking the subgenre’s recent renaissance. -- publisher's blurbISBN: 9780786470778Contents: -- Preface -- Introduction -- Part 1: Expanding the Prehistory: 1938-1998 --

In America, we witness the birth of Hollywood, circa 1910, where film quickly became a powerful industry and D. W. Griffith put American cinema on the map; later, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton developed a new language of visual comedy while eccentrics like Erich von Stroheim and Cecil B. DeMille turned cinema into a high art form and show biz respectively, and sex symbols like Rudolph Valentino and Greta Garbo heated up the screens.
Meanwhile, in Europe, German directors such as Ernst Lubitsch and Fritz Lang were establishing their careers and Russian greats Eisenstein and Pudovkin were already revolutionizing a nascent art form. At the end of the 1920s the very first "talkies", albeit rudimentary ones, brutally crushed the silent art, but by 1930 sound masterpieces such as Sternberg's The Blue Angel and Milestone's All Quiet on the Western Front were produced. This exploration of the founding years of cinema offers a fascinating perspective on a period in movie history that is far too often overlooked in our times. -- jacket blurbISBN: 9783822846131Donation: Megan McMurchy

Outrageous conduct : art, ego, and the Twilight zone case / Stephen Farber and Marc Green New York: Arbor House/Morrow, 1988.
Call No: 79TWI FARAuthor: Farber, Stephen ; Green, Marc, 1943 Edition: 1st edPlace: New YorkPublisher: Arbor House/MorrowPubDate: 1988PhysDes: 394 p., [8] p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cmSubject: HOLLYWOOD ; SAFETY ; LAWSUITS ; STUNTS ; LANDIS, JOHN ; SPIELBERG, STEVEN ; TWILIGHT ZONE THE MOVIE (US, John Landis & Steven Spielberg & George Miller & Joe Dante, 1983) Summary: "Death in the movies isn't supposed to be real. But on July 23, 1982, a spectacular explosion on the set of TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE knocked a helicopter out of the sky and into the path of two small children and veteran actor Vic Morrow, crushing one child and decapitating Morrow and the other youngster. How could this tragedy occur? Was anyone to blame? OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT reveals the facts behind the accident, when skilled movie-makers exceeded the bounds of safety; the anxiety, when Hollywood closed ranks to protect its own; and the raucous and very public trial, when countercharges of "outrageous conduct" flew between the publicity-conscious district attorney and the furious film director, John Landis."
