Much has been written about the storied New Hollywood of the 1970s, but while Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Francis Ford Coppola were making their first classic movies, a parallel universe of directors gave birth to the modern horror film - aggressive, raw, and utterly original. Based on unprecedented access to the genre's major players, New York Times critic Jason Zinoman's Shock Value delivers the first definitive account of horror's golden age.

A good listen, but narrow in scope

Excellent analysis of horror
Revisado: 09-03-18
This book is an excellent analysis of horror over the decades. It tells of the directors producers and writers of popular horror. Names like Craven, Carpenter, Hooper, and Romero are given their own chapters and analysis of their life and upbringing as well as the work they directed.
Although the speaker of the book talks slow and dramatically throughout the entirety of the book, if you put it on 1.5x speed the speaker sounds more bearable to listen to.
I enjoyed this book and it’s an excellent source for fans of 70’s horror, and the directors that made the most quintessential horror movies of the twentieth century.
PRAISE TO JASON ZINOMAN.
