This is the story of the British horror film, with biographies of the stars, directors, and film studios, incisive reviews of key films, and a complete history of the genre. For everyone from beginners to film buffs, from silent movies to the present day via classic Hammer Horrors, the new violence of the '70s, and the zombie craze of recent years.

An in-depth look at the making of the classic puppet and live action series produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson that thrilled audiences worldwide in the 60s and 70s. Thunderbirds, UFO, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and Space: 1999, among many others, are examined to show just why these much-loved shows remain so iconic in the 21st century.
