Horror cinema is full of people who let power go to their head. Donald Pleasence - never was the line between drama, horror and the driest of humour crossed so adroitly.

Horror Movies: An Illustrated History #2
(The Silver Age 1939-1949!)
The second instalment in this series, Horror Movies: An Illustrated History #2, guides you through a cinematic genre that, by the late thirties, had established itself as both credible and controversial. As censors hovered, the industry had given itself a break from monsters, but 1939 saw the children of the night wake again and unleash a horde of new characters that would become some of movieland’s most beloved creations. This lavish guide to horror cinema’s second age is your ideal companion to a rediscovery of the ways in which monsters claimed new territory in our shared consciousness.
