Praise for Horror Unmasked: A History of Terror from ‘Nosferatu’ to Nope’

Posted bybradweismannPosted inNew Horrors

“Chronicling as well as celebrating the long-lasting power and popularity of horror cinema since its inception to the present day and future of the genre, Horror Unmasked is a gorgeously printed 232-paged hardcover treasure trove for both classic and underrated horror gems alike. Filled to the brim with investigation into nearly every prominent player, subgenre and film entry in the genre’s history, it is incredibly impressive for its wide range of scope, particularly for thoroughly covering horror titles from all around the world.” — RAINE PETRIE, Moviejawn

“Considering the massive scope, this photobook is surprisingly succinct, informative, and helpful as an overview of horror films.” — KEVIN HOWELL, Library Journal

“Author Weismann writes passionately about terror on film, whether he is celebrating the classic monster movies (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, etc), comparing quality remakes to originals, or dissecting fresh flesh on celluloid.” — ANTONINO TATI, Cream Magazine
