LEGENDARY HORROR FILMS - Large Hardcover Book

Presenting the history of a film genre as complex as horror is a formidable task. In Legendary Horror Films, Peter Guttmacher gives us a coffee-table treatment of the subject that does the job quite creditably. Like any coffee-table book, this one boasts abundant illustrations, including many unusual, often stunning posters, lobby cards, stills, and portraits, beautifully reproduced. Guttmacher also sprinkles his text liberally with sidebars (e.g., makeup techniques used by Lon Chaney and Jack Pierce) and some amusing quizzes. All glossy pages. Appears new except for a small tear on the dust jacket.
