Download The Horror of It All: One Moviegoer’s Love Affair with Masked Maniacs, Frightened Virgins, and the Living Dead… AudioBook Free
Horror films have concurrently captivated and terrified audiences for generations, accumulating billions of dollars at the pack office and infusing our nightmares with unrelenting zombies, chainsaw-wielding madmen, and myriad incarnations of ghosts, ghouls, and the devil himself. Despite changing methods of storytelling and the fluctuating recognition of other genres, horror endures. The Horror than it All is a memoir from leading lines of the industry that dissects (and once in a while defends) the greatly popular happening of scary films. Writer Adam Rockoff traces the highs and lows of the horror genre through the zoom lens of his own obsessive fandom, delivered in the aisles of his local training video store and nurtured with a steady diet of cable tv trash. From Siskel and Ebert's crusade against slasher films to horror's renaissance in the wake of Scream, Rockoff mines the abundant background of the genre, braiding critical research along with his own firsthand experience. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
