Description:... Traces the rise and fall of the horror genre from its nineteenth century beginnings to the present day, encompassing the lost films of the silent era, the Karloff and Lugosi chillers of the 1930's, the lurid classics from Hammer's house of horror and the explicit shockers of the 1970's.
