A ghostly figure at the window. The smash of glass. The glint of light on the edge of a knife. A row of gnashing teeth, dripping with blood. A flash of lightning. A gut wrenching scream. Horror films have proven to be among the highest grossing yet most maligned films ever made. Dismissed as juvenile and unworthy of attention by critics, what is it that brings people the world over to part with their money time and again for the privilege of being scared?
In the Pocket Essential Horror Films you will find out what makes a successful horror film. There is also a history of the genre from the silent era to the present day including reviews of the landmark films that defined major trends. And there is a closer look at 10 key movers in the field, including Wes Craven, Clive Barker, George A Romero, Dario Argento, Tod Browning and David Cronenberg.
Packed to the gills with scary facts and gruesome goings on, let the Pocket Essential Horror Films be your guide to the dark side of the silver screen. So join us on a journey into terror. Some of you may never return...

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
