Kingdom Of Shadows



The Best Horror Documentary Ever
I taped this from TV about 10 years ago and was thrilled to find a copy. This is a must-have for anyone interested in horror films. It starts out with silent film horror, explains the psychology and evolution of horror films made in different countries and in different eras. I actually sat with pen & paper and wrote down and bought as many of the silent and early talkie horror films covered in this documentary as I could find. I now have a collection of early B&W horror films.
It is extremely educational and interesting.

Early Horror 101
A nice survey course into horror films of the Silent Era. Many films covered. Lots of German expressionism -- Murnau, etc. Good clips from many films of the day, and there were many. Rod Steiger narrates. Good, if you really like Silent films.
