about

"An essential road map to the dark highways and byways of horror cinema, with seasoned travelers Laws and Hite blazing a trail through these unhallowed regions for new fans and veteran fright aficionados alike." — Travis Johnson, Film Critic

All in one place, at last! This is the complete Horror Cinema Essentials series, curated and performed by the authors of the storied, award-winning podcast "Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff!" This book boasts the authentic, original series audio, arranged into fascinating and topical chapters for immediate thrills. Starting in the eerily silent nights of early film and venturing to the first decades of our modern night, explore a century of the best scares in cinema—and what makes them work for artists and audiences even now.

(Note: Audiobook chapters do not correspond exactly to the original episode content. Scary!)
