Horror film : creating and marketing fear
"In Horror Film: Creating and Marketing Fear, essayists focus primarily on how film technology, marketing, and distribution effectively create the aesthetics and reception of horror films." "Previously unpublished, these essays cover several styles of horror film - including the silent German Expressionist masterpiece Nosferatu, the jittery mock-documentary The Blair Witch Project, and the gracefully shot The Exorcist, Essayists question how lighting, editing techniques, sound, and camera and film equipment affect how viewers perceive a horror movie."--Jacket
