In this engaging study, James Twitchell examines the persistence and appeal of the horror genre in popular culture. Using a psychoanalytic approach to focus on three recurring stories--the tales of the vampire ( Dracula ), the hulk-with-no-name ( Frankenstein ), and the transformation monster ( The Wolfman , Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde )--Twitchell traces the development of horror from its origins in folklore to the modern "slasher" film.
