This special screening is presented by the UK’s #1 horror and film history podcast, The Evolution of Horror, as part of the tour that's launching the new book 'The Evolution of Horror: A Terrifying Guide to Horror Movie History' by host and author Mike Muncer. The film will be preceded by a live Q&A and there will be a book signing afterwards.
Adapted from the acclaimed podcast and with a foreword by Reece Shearsmith, the book takes a deep dive into the history of cinema's darkest genre. Covering everything from silent films to modern masterpieces, Mike breaks down eight key horror subgenres - including vampires, slashers, zombies and ghost stories - to explore the tropes, motifs, historical context and psychology behind why certain stories scare us so much.
Stylishly illustrated throughout with stills, posters and stunning artworks by artist Mike Lee-Graham, this is a must-read guide to the eclectic, enthralling and deliciously macabre world of horror.
