Uneasy Dreams : The Golden Age of British Horror Films, 1956-1976

There has been a tremendous amount of renewed interest in the output of Britain's Hammer Films. But there remain a great number of worthwhile British horror films, made at the same time by other companies that have received little attention. The author provides a comprehensive listing of British horror films - including science fiction, fantasy, and suspense films containing horror-genre elements - that were released between 1956 and 1976, the ""Golden Age"" of British horror. Entries are listed alphabetically by original British title, from Vincent Price in ""The Abominable Dr. Phibes"" (1971) to ""Zeta One"" (1969). Entries also include American title, release information, a critique of the film, and the film's video availability. The book is filled with photographs and contains interviews with four key figures: Max J. Rosenberg, cofounder of Amicus Productions, one of the period's major studios; Louis M. Heyward, former writer, film executive and producer; Aida Young, film and television producer; and Gordon Hessler, director of such films as ""The Oblong Box"" and ""Murders in the Rue Morgue"".
