Universal Horrors: The Studio's Classic Films, 1931-1946 by Michael Brunas, John Brunas, Tom Weaver
4.0
Never judge a book by it's cover.
No light reading here. This is an in-depth, encyclopedic study of Universal's classic horror films. The authors (Weaver, Brunas & Brunas) are serious film scholars who have cobbled together a tome of information and insight. Casual fans may find its 616 pages of small print a little tedious, but if you're the kind of film buff that just HAS TO KNOW why Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake was chosen to backdrop the opening credits of Dracula in 1931, this is your book!
