It all started in 1960 at the Bates Motel. Over the last twenty-five years the shocker film industry has grown to monstrous proportions. Here now is an in-depth study of horror films since the release of Psycho, and the controversy that surrounds the genre, complete with critical examinations of the best - and worst - shocker films and the leading directors. Stay Out of the Shower is illustrated with horrifying stills from the favorite shockers of all time, including Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Evil Dead, Night of the Living Dead, and, of course, Psycho.
