Now a Terrifying Motion Picture! explores the relationship between 25 enduring works of horror literature and the films that have been adapted from them; and knowing how many of our readers are fans of the classics, we thought we’d pass on some info about the recently published book.
Each chapter of author and professor James F. Broderick’s work delves into the historical and cultural background of a particular type of horror–hauntings, zombies, aliens, and more–and provides an overview of a specific work’s critical and popular reception. The book is published by McFarland, and among the print-to-film titles discussed are:
Altered States
The Amityville Horror
The Birds
Dead Ringers
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
