<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A practical "how to" guide for horror filmmakers, this book analyzes how cinematic tools such as acting, makeup, costuming, set decor, framing, cinematography, lighting, editing, and sound are used to create horror on screen. The guide explores aesthetic and creative considerations in conveying fear, suspense, and dread by examining scenes from popular genre films"--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This richly informed study analyzes how various cinematic tools and techniques have been used to create horror on screen--the aesthetic elements, sometimes not consciously noticed, that help to unnerve, frighten, shock or entertain an audience. The first two chapters define the genre and describe the use of pragmatic aesthetics (when filmmakers put technical and budgetary compromises to artistic effect). Subsequent chapters cover mise-en-scene, framing, photography, lighting, editing and sound, and a final chapter is devoted to the aesthetic appeals of horror cinema. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"very highly recommended"--<i>Midwest Book Review</i>; "this isn't some guy speaking from a pulpit of theory; he's someone who actually uses this specialized knowledge in his work. The knowledge herein would therefore be most beneficial to those who actually hope to work in the horror field, or anyone wishing to be more conscious of the pleasures they take in the craft of the genre"--<i>Video Watchdog</i>.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Thomas M. Sipos</b> is the founder/manager of the Tabloid Witch Awards and a past film judge for the World Horror Convention. He has worked as a script reader, actor or extra on more than 70 productions and has contributed to <i>Filmfax, Midnight Marquee</i> and other magazines.
