Description: Monstrous Adaptations by Richard Hand, Jay McRoy Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The first book devoted to the study of horror film and adaptation. Comprised of essays by top scholars in the field, this anthology includes analyses of such under-examined films as Thomas Edisons Frankenstein, John Barrymores Jekyll and Hyde, Jean Epsteins La chute de la maison Usher, Gus van Sants Psycho and Guillermo de Toros Cronos Publisher Description The fifteen groundbreaking essays contained in this book address the concept of adaptation in relation to horror cinema. Adaptation is not only a key cultural practice and strategy for filmmakers, but it is also a theme of major importance within horror cinema as a hole. The history of the genre is full of adaptations that have drawn from fiction or folklore, or that have assumed the shape of remakes of pre-existing films. The horror genre itself also abounds with its own myriad transformations and transmutations.The essays within this volume engage with an impressive range of horror texts, from the earliest silent horror films by Thomas Edison and Jean Epstein through to important contemporary phenomena, such as the western appropriation of Japanese horror motifs. Classic works by Alfred Hitchcock, David Cronenberg and Abel Ferrara receive cutting-edge re-examination, as do unjustly neglected works by Mario Bava, Guillermo del Toro and Stan Brakhage. -- .
