"The author of the acclaimed film histories English Gothic and American Gothic returns with an in-depth study of the lurid horror fantasies that emerged from the studios of Italy, Spain, France and Germany. From the Expressionist reveries of the Weimar Republic to the transgressive nightmares smuggled past the Franco regime, via surrealist Gallic fever-dreams and psychedelic shockers from Cinecittà, Jonathan Rigby brings his incisive scrutiny to bear on more than 100 key films spanning a period of some 80 years. The result is another absorbing chronicle of one of cinema's most enduring but misunderstood genres"--Dust jacket.
