Description

Horror films have been around for more than 100 years, and they continue to make a large impact on popular culture as they reflect their contemporary zeitgeist. Between the mid-1950s and mid-1980s, drive-in theaters were at their peak of popularity, and each decade brought forward new challenges and themes.

This book explores 60 B horror films, divided into 12 fun and uniquely-themed categories. Chapters discuss how the Atomic Age, the Vietnam War, the women's liberation movement and other current events and social issues affected these films. Films covered include Willard, The Fly, Santa Sangre and many more.

Editorial Reviews

"A Cut Below is an A+ guide to Hollywood's B movie genre. Scott Drebit's unique, personal and always entertaining take on horror movies is laced with lovingly snarky asides as he dives head first into the gore and and the cheese that made me fall in love with these movies in the first place. With wit and wisdom, A Cut Below is a fun and unapologetic homage to the critters, slashers and zombies that still make us squeal with delight in the darkness. Time to dust off the VHS machine in the garage and catch up on the best of the B."--Josh Stolberg, screenwriter (Saw X, Piranha 3D, Sorority Row)
