A must read for vintage horror film fans!By Michael FavareilleThis book is a well-written piece dealing with the period of horror films that many people remember--That of the early 1950s-late 1960s(i.e. From the start of 3-D films to the release of Night of the Living Dead). It largely argues that the horror boom during this time was due to two things:1. Theaters needed product for their screens2. TV stations(UHF stations in particular) needing movies for their programmingIn a good sub-argument; it also mentions about the rise of imported horror from Britain and Italy(largely due to tax and other economic issues and also as a reciprocal to the expansion of the US film industry overseas). Lots of good research and it is written in a way where you get plenty of information; but yet it does not feel like a dry read. The chapter on horror film TV syndication packages is a highlight for me(outside of a talk that the author did about 2 years prior to publication at a UC Berkeley conference on Trash Cinema; I had not seen anybody do any research on this before.)I also recommend the work of Eric Schaefer(who has a sequel coming to his book Bold! Daring! Shocking! True!); when when combining these works would give you a well-grounded education on horror and exploitation film cultures.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. History behind what made horror films tickBy hellosariSome very interesting material. My favorite chapter was explaining the rise in 3D horror films to the mainstream; mostly because they were trying to draw viewers back to the theater who were staying at home to watch TV. Its still true today. Also not pretentious or hard to read which is hard to find in film books these days. What a gem!4 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Bait and SwitchBy Michael Samerdyke"Ghouls; Gimmicks and Gold" would have been better off titled "Decline and Fall of the Neighborhood Cinema." That is because the real subject of this book is not the horror genre. Instead Heffernan uses the horror genre as a lens to show the increasing pressures on the neighborhood cinemas as the big studios retrenched after the Paramount decision and made fewer films at the same time that TV made more and more people stay home in front of the tube.Yes; Heffernan has some interesting comments about "House of Wax" and "Curse of Frankenstein" but by and large he ignores the content of the films to focus on how the films let the theater owners stave off the end for a little bit longer.I absolutely hit the wall with this book when I read the chapter that covered in detail which films were part of which TV syndication package. At that point; I realized that Heffernan had written a book for business historians and not for people interested in horror movies.
