This book argues that point with an analysis of the horror film genre, examining nine classics which illustrate the evolution of horror and reveal a culture haunted by fear of the unspeakable. The history and literary roots of the horror genre are also discussed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   The author concludes that our innate dread of evil and the imperative of warding it off are the key mechanics of the horror experience.
