Hollywood Horror from the Director's Chair: Six Filmmakers in the Franchise of Fear

"Profitable, relatively inexpensive to produce, and with a faithful built-in audience, Hollywood horror franchise films have long dominated the market for generic feature film productions. This work examines the significant effects, good and bad, that the horror franchise genre has had on the careers of several American film directors, including Wes Craven (Nightmare on Elm Street), Don Coscarelli (Phantasm), and Joe Berlinger (Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows). An extensive filmography of popular horror franchise films is included, along with a comprehensive bibliography."--BOOK JACKET.Wilkinson, Simon A. is the author of 'Hollywood Horror from the Director's Chair: Six Filmmakers in the Franchise of Fear', published 2007 under ISBN 9780786432325 and ISBN 0786432322.
