"Reel Terror is a love letter to the wildly popular yet still misunderstood genre that churns out blockbusters and cult classics year after year. From The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to Paranormal Activity, Konow explores its all-time highs and lows, why the genre has been overlooked, and how horror films just might help us overcome fear. His on-set stories and insights delve into each movie and its effect on American culture. For novices to all out film buffs, this is the perfect companion to this Halloween's movie marathons"--

Table of Contents

Why we love being scared
The foundations of fear
Kensington gore
"The signpost that everyone followed"
Building the modern zombie
It's only a movie
Just when you thought it was safe
Giving the devil his due
The night he came home
No one can hear you scream
Did you check on the children?
Be afraid, be very afraid
Long night at camp blood
A different kind of animal
A thunderstorm in a bottle
To stay sane you have to laugh
Having a friend for dinner
The little horror films that could
"The audience is always there for it".
