Since the publication of the first edition, horror has been on a gradual upswing, and taken a new and stronger hold over the film industry. Newman negotiates his way through a vast back-catalogue of horror, charting the on-screen progress of our collective fears and bogeymen from the low budget slasher movies of the 60s, through to the slick releases of the 2000s, in a critical appraisal that doubles up as a genealogical study of contemporary horror and its forebears. Newman invokes the figures that fuel the ongoing demand for horror - the serial killer; the vampire; the werewolf; the zombie - and draws on his remarkable knowledge of the genre to give us a comprehensive overview of the modern myths that have shaped the imagination of multiple generations of cinema-goers. Nightmare Movies is an invaluable companion that not only provides a newly updated history of the darker side of film but a truly entertaining guide with which to discover the less well-trodden paths of horror, and re-discover the classics with a newly instructed eye.

Writer, producer, and director Wes Craven has successfully tapped into the horror vein for over forty years, serving up scary, funny, cutting-edge thrillers that have become classics in the genre. His films have been both critical and commercial successes, most notably Nightmare on Elm Street, which spawned a series of sequels and made Craven (and his creation, Freddy Kruger) an international sensation. He then created a second indelible series in the horror movie trope with Scream. In Screams & Nightmares, Brian J. Robb examines Craven's entire career, from his low-budget beginnings to his most recent box office hits, from the banned thriller The Last House on the Left and the cult classic The Hills Have Eyes to the outrageous Shocker and The People Under the Stairs. Through exclusive interviews with Craven, Robb provides in-depth accounts of the making of each of the films – including the final instalments of the Scream series – Craven's foray into writing novels, and his numerous television projects.

Satan marched into the presence of God, demanding permission to attack the family. He accused them of being frauds and phonies, insisting his attack would end with the parents cursing God to his face. God refused Satan's full demands, but gave him permission to use their daughter, Andie, in any way he chose. Andie and her family never saw it coming. They were ordinary everyday people, living their lives like everyone else. Until it happened. The attack was vicious, depraved, and blood-thirsty. We don't wrestle against flesh and blood. Our battle is with Satan's demonic terrorist organization. This adversary is massive in size and highly organized, with centuries of experience perfecting its weapons. And Satan's demons are invisible. If you experience an attack of Satan, you will not see his demons before, during, or after the assault. You will be taken by complete surprise. And nothing will prepare you for the scope of the vicious destruction he unleashes. Nightmare serves as a warning to all Christians. Pay attention to the instructions in Ephesians chapter six. Without God and his guardian angels, you do not want to experience the monster and his nightmare.
