Description

Composers give a unique and powerful voice to stories on the big screen.

Those who work principally with one genre may leave a unique imprint.

James Bernard was one such composer. From 1952 to the late 1990s, he was one of horror's definitive and distinctive voices, scoring many of Hammer's best-known films, including Dracula.

This is a critical biography of James Bernard. It is also a thorough and meticulous examination of his music, including its intricate mechanisms and the many sources of Bernard's inspiration.

Movie scores examined include The Quatermass Experiment, Quatermass 2, X--The Unknown, The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Kiss of the Vampire, She, and many others.

A foreword by Ingrid Pitt, a glossary, a filmography, notes, bibliography and index complete the work.
