Description

The darkly handsome man gazes deeply into her eyes.

She finds him irresistible, wants to experience the passion of the moment.

He grins—the movie audience can see his lengthened lateral incisors—and bends to her neck.

The eroticism is horrible, and compelling. Audiences are drawn to horror cinema much as the surrendering victim.

Afraid to watch, but more afraid something will be missed.

Since the horror film is the most primal of all movie genres, seldom censored, these films tell us what we are about.

From the silent era to the present day, Dark Romance explores horror cinema's preoccupation with sexuality: vampires, beauty and the beast, victimization of women, "slasher" films, and more.

Separate chapters focus upon individuals, like Alfred Hitchcock and Barbara Steele.

Entertaining, and thought-provoking on the sexual fears and phobias of our society.
