Daniel Cohen has to be one of the most prolific non-fiction writers out there, and this book does not disappoint. I have read several dozen 'true ghost' books and for some reason this one was one of the creepiest...perhaps since it was about children, but regardless, if you're tired of stale, encylopedia style books that don't really get into the sightings, this is the book for you.
This unique book, found in the children's section at libraries all around the world, portrays the horror genre in films with a different darkness. Some of the movies featured in this exciting book are
The Excorcist, The Omen, and Carrie. It also contains some classics like The Cabinet of Dr. Calagari, and several other silent films.
Daniel Cohen has a way of detailing the fine art of horror in the movies with his upfront approach to writing. You won't see any pictures of corny monsters like in other books. This head on approach to confronting the horror in film, which everyone has enjoyed at one time, opens a new door to the reality of how horror classics like Rosemary's Baby and Dawn of the Dead have spawned other cult classics dealing with the paranormal world of ghosts, demons, and witchcraft.
I highly recommend Horror in the Movies to anyone with an interest in the Macob!
