Several entries also include a postscript detailing noteworthy events that followed the picture's theatrical run, such as sequels or award nominations. An additional appendix presents the first accurate, detailed history of the infamous "lost" chiller from New York, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1945). Profusely illustrated and painstakingly documented, this complete history of the second decade of Hollywood horror is essential reading for horror fans and cinema historians alike."-Provided by publisher"--
