| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. As Hollywood implemented audio in films of the 1930s and 1940s, horror movies saw an increased opportunity to scare viewers. Filmmakers like James Whale and Tod Browning brought classic tales and new material to life on the big screen, creating some of Hollywood's most iconic horror images to date. This book looks at the influential horror films made in the 1930s and 1940s, the innovative actors and filmmakers and the movies that are considered horror classic from those decades. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
