Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Horror films of the 1950s and 1960s evolved from supernatural monsters to dealing with terrifying topics of everyday life. Atomic warfare, serial killers and demonic possession took center stage on the big screen and audiences loved to be scared.
This book looks at the themes and influences of horror films of the 1950s and 1960s, the influence of filmmaker William Castle and the movies that made horror film history.
