Horror movies are back from the dead!

Blockbuster box office. Critical acclaim and Oscars recognition. From A Quiet Place to The Substance, the horror genre is enjoying a glorious—and gory—golden age.

Screaming and Conjuring takes you behind the scenes and tracks the roots of this extraordinary renaissance, from the release of the groundbreaking Scream in 1996 to the arrival of 2013’s The Conjuring, which spawned horror’s initial multi-billion dollar franchise. Written by veteran entertainment journalist Clark Collis, Screaming and Conjuring is the first in-depth examination of this remarkably fertile and influential time for big screen tales of terror.
____________

In the early '90s, the horror movie genre was terrifyingly close to becoming box office death, as cinemagoers were exhausted from endless sequels, worn-out franchises, and tired tropes. Three decades on, the horror film has achieved a stunning turnaround. The genre is now widely regarded by Hollywood studios as a sure bet at the box office and by actors as one of the best ways to break into Hollywood (or breathe new life into their careers).

The nearly two decades detailed in Screaming and Conjuring saw the release of among the most acclaimed, beloved, and all-around unnerving big screen fright flicks ever made, including The Sixth Sense, The Blair Witch Project, the Nicole Kidman-starring The Others, and Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-winning Pan’s Labyrinth. The era also birthed a string of new horror franchises, many of which endure today, including Final Destination, 28 Days Later, Resident Evil, Saw, Hostel, Paranormal Activity, and Insidious. Screaming and Conjuring covers the often difficult and tortuous making of all these films (and many more), giving readers the exclusive lowdown on productions which were at times every bit as intense as what ended up on screen.

Collis interviewed a myriad of genre notables for Screaming and Conjuring, everyone from actors Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween) and Neve Campbell (Scream), to directors Eli Roth (Hostel) and Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Drag Me to Hell), to legendary special effects artists such as Greg Nicotero (Scream, The Mist, The Walking Dead).

Blood. Sweat. Tears. More blood. Allow Clark Collis to take you behind the scenes, and the scares, with this frighteningly fascinating history of horror!

Recenzijos

Early praise for SCREAMING AND CONJURING:

An amazing account of one of the wildest, blood-soaked periods in modern cinema. A treasure chest of bloody good memories and stories from everyone who lived through it. A must-read for any horror fan who wants to know how the sausage is disemboweled. Eli Roth (Director, Thanksgiving / Hostel / Cabin Fever)



Not only does Screaming and Conjuring define the era that defined an era, this in-depth autopsy maps out the entire circulatory system of horror, painstakingly cataloguing every blood cell of celluloid. Clay McLeod Chapman (Author, Wake Up and Open Your Eyes)

Acclaim for Clark Collis' previous book YOU'VE GOT RED ON YOU:

Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and more offer unique insights into the making of their 2004 zombie comedy classic, Shaun of the Dead. The 424-page book traces the films story, from late-night pub conversations about surviving the zombie apocalypse to an unexpected hit at Comic-Con 2004. Rolling Stone

A sharply written, thorough, and loving tribute to a modern-day cinema classic. Kirkus, starred review

You've Got Red on You is a must-buy. Fangoria

An exemplary movie retrospective, one which combines an astonishing amount of research with a real flair for storytelling. 5/5 stars. SFX

Just look at Clark Collis's stunning book on the making of Shaun Of The Dead. The red metallic page edging, the cover art, the inside... it's a thing of beauty. In other words: how's that for a slice of fried gold? Ali Plumb, BBC Radio 1

...almost 20 years later, Shaun of the Dead is a cult classic. Director Edgar Wright and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost inform the bulk of the narrative with hilarious remembrances; Quentin Tarantino, Eli Roth, and the late George A. Romero are quoted here too...resulting in a work [ that will be] wildly entertaining to horror buffs. Library Journal, starred review

A really entertaining read and, if youre a fan of the film, very illuminating on the struggles to not only get it made, but also to have the film be taken seriously. If youve ever wanted to make a movie, youll learn a lot in Youve Got Red on You. Shaun of the Dead co-writer/director Edgar Wright

So many relationships grow and expand over the course of Collis' book that readers will find themselves falling in love with Shaun of the Dead to say nothing of Wright, Pegg, and Frost all over again, twenty years on. 4/4 stars. Starburst

[ You've Got Red on You] gives unparalleled access to near everyone involved with the movie, plus sketches, script drafts, storyboards, and BTS photos aplenty. Total Film

One of the best books of the year. Buzz Magazine

If youre a fan of Shaun of the Dead or a filmmaker influenced by the films of Wright this is essential reading. It is so good we read it twice before this review. Screen Anarchy

Like a slap of a cricket bat to the face, Clark Colliss terrific new book, Youve Got Red on You, takes us on a deep dive into the making of Edgar Wrights classic horror/comedy Shaun of the Dead. Its a fantastic view into the effort, heartache and exultation of the filmmakers struggle to create a groundbreaking and gore-drenched film. Phantasm writer/director Don Coscarelli

The intricately rendered and definitive story behind the creation of Edgar Wrights cinematic rom-zom-com tour-de-gores that is Shaun of the Dead, recounted with affection by the one and only Clark Collis. The Nun director Corin Hardy
