"Reel Terror" is a love letter to the wildly popular yet still misunderstood genre that churns out blockbusters and cult classics year after year. From "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" to "Paranormal Activity", Konow explores its all-time highs and lows, why the genre has been overlooked, and how horror films just might help us overcome fear. His on-set stories and insights delve into each movie and its effect on American culture. For novices to all out film buffs, this is the perfect companion to this Halloween's movie marathons.
