Peter Haining and his ghoulish friends, Vincent Price and Christopher Lee, have conjured up an intelligent and thoroughly enjoyable survey (complete with stills from the motion pictures) of horror films you've seen, some you haven't seen, and some you'll be seeing during the current renaissance of the genre, including:
