About this title

Synopsis:

A Quaint & Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore - The Mythology & History of Classic Horror Films by Frank J. Dello Stritto The monsters and mad doctors of horror films all search for something: belonging, peace, love, power, revenge, forbidden knowledge. Fans of the movies search for truth and meaning. "A Quaint & Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore" delves into what in on the screen and just behind it in classic horror films. To their young audiences, they were more than entertainment. The multi-film sagas formed a new mythology, almost unwittingly created in the 1930s &; 1940s, almost accidentally rediscovered in the 1950s &; 1960s, and today more powerful and poignant than ever. Read "A Quaint & Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore" and watch your favorite monster movies again for the first time.
