Censored Screams: The British Ban on Hollywood Horror in the Thirties

Product Description

As Dracula (1931) and Frankenstein (1931) ushered in the golden age of horror films in the United States, studios and distributors were faced with a major problem in their number one overseas market: the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) were demanding extensive cuts, enforcing age restrictions, and banning outright many of Hollywoods horror movies. The issue most often used to limit the showing of horror films was their unsuitability to children. With that in mind, the BBFC developed specific film codesthe A (for adults) and the H (for horrific), both of which restricted viewing to those 16 or olderand then applied them liberally. This work examines how and why horror films were censored or banned in the United Kingdom, and the part these actions played in ending Hollywoods golden age of horror.

Product Description

There has been a tremendous amount of renewed interest in the output of Britain's Hammer Films. But there remain a great number of worthwhile British horror films, made at the same time by other companies, that have received little attention. The author provides a comprehensive listing of British horror films-including science fiction, fantasy, and suspense films containing horror-genre elements-that were released between 1956 and 1976, the "Golden Age" of British horror. Entries are listed alphabetically by original British title, from Vincent Price in The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) to Zeta One (1969). Entries also include American title, release information, a critique of the film, and the film's video availability. The book is filled with photographs and contains interviews with four key figures: Max J. Rosenberg, cofounder of Amicus Productions, one of the period's major studios; Louis M. Heyward, former writer, film executive and producer; Aida Young, film and television producer; and Gordon Hessler, director of such films as The Oblong Box and Murders in the Rue Morgue.

More Information required.......2007-06-10

When I saw that this book covered "The Golden Age of British Horror Films from 1956 to 1976" I was quite excited at the prospect of discovering more about the films that have been the mainstay of my interest in horror films that began in 1965. I have a lot of books that include the same films, but they are not dedicated to British films or to a specific time period, so I hoped that this would be the definitive volume on the subject.
This book has a good selection of stills, some of which I had not seen before, and it is well written. The synopses and reviews of the 319 films are concise and accurate, but I think they are a bit too concise for a book at this price. I was hoping for a more detailed review and some information about the films that I had not read elsewhere. This was rarely the case.
Unless you are a newcomer, and want a book that gives a reasonable introduction to the subject, you won't learn much from this book that you don't already know.
The star rating is a bit restrictive - I would say 4 stars for the newcomer and only 2 for someone looking to increase their knowledge, an average of 3 stars.

Great Book!.......2002-07-06

Marvellously comprehensive, with quite a diverse range of topics relating to horror and people who are associated with the genre, and other such entries.
A pretty handy guide for horror film buffs, as this is the major category it covers (couldn't expect more from a "BFI" (British Film Institute) Companion though, could you? :-) ).
On the downside, some of the entries can be a little overcrowded with film titles, but good for the completist, i guess.
I'd love to see further editions, with more up-to-date info (it WAS printed in '96, afterall.)
Defintately a recommended buy.

Book Description

New in paperback! Most critics, historians, and filmmakers agree that no single entity has had more influence over the genre of horror and fantasy film than Hammer Film Productions, a small independent British film company. This volume traces the life and spirit of the House of Hammer from its fledging days of the late 1940s, through its successes of the 1950s and 60s, to its decline in the 1970s. Paperback edition available 2001.

Eye-opening, to the point of ruining the magic.......2002-10-09

The good news is that for more-than-casual Hammer horror fans, this is a meticulously researched studio history, written from the business perspective, that goes far deeper than the usual rehashes found in horror encyclopedias and video guides. Meikle does a great job of putting the British film industry into a larger 1950s and '60s context, and sheds the light on Hammer's spotty U.S. distribution history for those of us who grew up on this side of the pond as frustrated young monster magazine readers wondering why the movies in our monster magazines (especially in the later years) never came to theaters or only played grindhouses and drive-ins.
The bad news is that the author is so down on Hammer's output in general that you wonder how he ever mustered the enthusiasm to tackle the topic in the first place. It's one thing to flail the usual whipping posts (he calls "Scars of Dracula" "irredeemably tacky"). But the harsh tone extends to even the usually acknowledged classics, such as "The Mummy" and "Curse of Frankenstein." Maybe Meikle feels it goes without saying that Hammer often captured lighting in a bottle in spite of its own scripts and budgets that today wouldn't even measure up to first-run syndication TV such as "Hercules." You appreciate the clear-eyed approach, but Anchor Bay seems to have a better attitude with its "even the cheesy stuff has its charms" approach to the background materials on its DVD releases.
If anything, a Hammer fan goes away from the book feeling it's a miracle these films came out as good as they were, after the author unveils the cynicism and/or studio heads' lack of faith in the source material that U.S. fans always took for granted with our "The British do this stuff best" assumptions.

Beautiful and informative look at an overlooked, but important, horror film niche........2006-05-30

When people think of British horror films, thoughts turn to Hammer (with a nod to Amicus). But now for something completely different: A book about INDEPENDENT British horror cinema, 1970 -- 1979. Ten years, ten chapters.

Why those years? The editors explain: "When people talk of the long tradition of British horror cinema, they're talking about a myth. In fact, British horror films only thrived for a twenty year period. Before 1960, there had only been a handful of genre movies made in the UK; and since 1980, horror film production has dwindled to an almost non-existent level."

But if British horror began flowering in 1960, why not Twenty Years of Terror? Because, the editors believe, British horror cinema peaked in the 1970s, both creatively and quantitatively: "The 1970s saw boundaries broken down, taboos challenged, censorship under assault and the rule books torn up. It had never happened before, and it hasn't happened since."

While the editors acknowledge Hammer's past contributions, they believe that by the 1970s, independent filmmakers had assumed the creative cutting edge:

"Hammer -- particularly under the leadership of Michael Carreras -- seemed to have little idea of how to deal with the sweeping changes that were taking place. It's sobering to think that while William Friedkin was shooting The Exorcist and Wes Craven had made The Last House on the Left, Hammer were dusting off Terence Fisher to grind out another Frankenstein movie."

Ten Years of Terror is part film encyclopedia, with production credits and analyses for each film entry. Its huge format resembles the Overlook Film Encyclopedia, yet naturally, its coverage of 1970s British horror is more extensive. Vastly so. The Overlook's horror edition covers all North American and European horror films up till 1992, plus films from Japan, India and Latin America, yet is only 1/3 longer than Ten Years of Terror. Ten Years of Terror lavishes over 300 pages for films that the Overlook covers in under 30.

Likewise, Fragments of Fear: An Illustrated History of British Horror Films, covers nearly a century of British horror in 283 pages, compared to Ten Years of Terror's decade in 336 pages.

Clearly, Ten Years of Terror offers much more on 1970s British horror films than previous books. But what more is there? No, not padding. There's meat -- and blood and guts and gore. This is a beautiful book, hugely glossy, lavishly illustrated, in resplendent color.

Specifically: 143 film entries, 733 illustrations, 48 pages in full color. That's what it claims. I didn't count, but it doesn't appear off base.

In addition to ten chapters, there are appendixes for: (1) short and experimental films; (2) TV movies and series (for BBC and ITV buffs); (3) borderline cases (what didn't quite fit the editors' definition of 1970s British horror); (4) foreign films shot in Britain (including by us Yanks), and (5) unfilmed British horror movies (some films that were announced but not completed). Appendixes also illustrated, although the entries are briefer.

Ten Years of Terror should not be confused with all those other oversized horror film books, scant on text, heavy on the same old glossy stills. Like them, Ten Years of Terror is big and beautiful, oversized and lavishly illustrated. But it's thick with text. And its stills are rarities, obscure gems.

But wait -- there's more!

The Foreword was written by Norman J. Warren, director of such British gems as Horror Planet (aka Inseminoid) and Terror.

I first saw Terror in a New York theater, some 20 years ago. Terror soon sank into obscurity, forgotten and ignored, and I've been partisaning its revival ever since. I discussed Terror in my NYU film school paper on horror films (1982), and in Horror magazine (1997), and again for Horrorfind.com, and again in my anthology book Halloween Candy (2001), and again in the HollywoodInvestigator.com (2004), and again in Mondo Cult (2006). Happily, Ten Year of Terror grants proper coverage to Terror (Fragments of Fear doesn't even mention the film), generously illustrated.

I also disagree with part of Harvey Fenton's critique. He calls Terror's script "well-written" and adds: "Terror is an audacious achievement; objectively speaking, there are undoubtedly better movies covered in this book, but few can compete with this film for simple entertainment value. McGillivray's script is efficient and unobtrusive; its sole purpose is to string together the many delightfully exuberant set-pieces."

Terror is wonderfully enjoyable, and stringing together scenes does appear to be the script's sole purpose. But a script should also create a coherent story, with cause-and-effect plotting. Instead, Terror is one of those rare films that becomes less coherent upon repeated viewing. However, that's because one enjoys Terror so much, one fails to notice that its story makes no sense -- none at all. It's only after one sees Terror a few times, growing familiar with the twists and turns in the rollercoaster, that one sees the plot holes.

Norman J. Warren's later Horror Planet (aka Inseminoid) is also great fun. A slasher film on a harsh planet. Think Jason meets Alien.

Although Ten Years of Terror concentrates on British indie horror, it covers all British horror films of the 1970s, Hammer and Amicus included. If the reader is still in doubt as to the fecundity of that period, perhaps it will help to recall these films, all covered in the book:

Countess Dracula, The House That Dripped Blood, Scream and Scream Again, The Vampire Lovers, Lust for a Vampire, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, A Clockwork Orange, The Devils, Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde, Hands of the Ripper, Straw Dogs, Twins of Evil, Asylum, Captain Kronos--Vampire Hunter, The Creeping Flesh, Dracula AD 1972, Frenzy,Horror Express, Psychomania, Tales From the Crypt, Horror Hospital, Theatre of Blood, The Wicker Man, Craze, House of Whipcord, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Vampyres, The Omen, Satan's Slave, Holocaust 2000, Schizo, The Uncanny, The Legacy, Alien, Saturn 3.

And over 100 more. Only a few entries are non-horror (e.g. Clockwork Orange, Straw Dogs). And mere inclusion does not mean the editors love the film. They disdain The Uncanny -- a film I much enjoy (I've a soft spot for horror anthologies, and for Donald Pleasance, and for Samantha Eggar).

Speaking of which, the trade paperback cover of Ten Years of Terror features the skull from Amicus's Tales From the Crypt. Enthralled by its TV commercials, I spent years waiting to be old enough to see it. For those who came of age post-DC, pre-HBO, the Amicus version will always be the "true" Tales From the Crypt. (Curiously, the hardback's dust jacket features Ingrid Pitt instead).

Ten Years of Terror is a treasure trove, and I'm sure many horror fans will spend hours drooling over the book, recalling films they'd perhaps momentarily forgotten. Others will thrill with the first blush of discovering a rare gem.

Ten Years of Terror is destined to be the definitive text of independent 1970s British horror cinema.

How film books should be!.......2005-11-01

'Ten Years of Terror' - a history of British horror cinema in the 70s - is not only very well written, but also a truly jaw-dropping book to look at. The meat, however, of course remains in the text. During the 1980s all things Italian - particularly the work of director Dario Argento - dominated the cult horror scene. The films of the 70s - especially UK horror movies - were all but forgotten, a fallow period between the collapse of Hammer and the rise of spaghetti-splatter. 'Ten Years of Terror' successfully challenges that misapprehension. In point of fact, horror enjoyed a brief golden age in the UK in the 70s, and as this book shows, expired from market saturation rather than unpopularity.

Hammer, under pressure from big budget US competition from the likes of 'Carrie', 'the Omen', and 'the Exorcist', produced some of their most interesting movies in this era. While not classics, the likes of 'Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter' and 'Dracula AD 1972' are at the very least good fun, and not the total turkeys they've been portrayed as. Hammer also came under pressure from rival UK studios like Tyburn and Amicus, who developed their own styles which were quintessentially English and quintessentially 70s, and in this context that's not an insult. Even sleaze merchants like Peter Walker are now enjoying a critical revival, and 'Ten Years of Terror' helps explain why.

'Ten Years of Terror' is largely composed of in-depth film reviews, chronologically organised on a year-by-year basis, interspersed by generous, lavish colour sections. If you like good-looking movie books, intelligent film journalism, or just have a soft spot for spooky cinema, you'll devour this as I did. How film books should be!

Book Description

Decade by decade, this resource offers an overview of all aspects of American teenagers' lives from 1900 to 1999, as they evolved through the century. Using a variety of sources from sociological studies to popular magazines, this work shows how teens have responded to the political events that have characterized each decade. It also describes the patterns that have affected their home, work, and school lives, patterns of dating and sex, trends in alcohol and drug use, and teen tastes in books and movies and use of slang and fashions. Seventy illustrations make the personalities, interests, and media of each decade come alive for students of history, literature, and popular culture. Twentieth-Century Teen Culture by the Decades chronicles the evolution of teenagers through the bobby-soxers of the 1940s, beatniks of the 1950s, and hippies of the 1960s, to the independent and outspoken teens of the 1990s. With photographs of teens, anecdotal information, and statistics, Rollin pulls together sources on fashion, slang, film, radio, and music. She confirms the great impact that rock music has had on teen life since the late 1940s as it traces the evolution of favorite performers and styles. She summarizes the patterns of youth freedoms and adult fears that resulted in such public efforts as the Senate hearings on juvenile delinquency in the 1950s and the attempts to label rock concerts as dangerous in the 1990s. She also demonstrates that the teen violence that seems to characterize the 1990s is not new. Twentieth-Century Teen Culture by the Decades is a must for answering the question of how teens lived during each decade and how each decade has influenced teens' lives today.

20th Century Teen Culture: my thoughts.......2002-05-22

Don't expect any personal commentary from Lucy Rollin in 20th Century Teen Culture. Why? The book, as noted on the front cover, is "A Reference Guide." Although Rollin does a fantastic job documenting the sources of her information, the book lacks personal input. However, it does cover a unique and somewhat uncommon topic: teenagers. Arranged chronologically, the book documents statistics and facts relating to the life of the American teenager from 1900 to the 1990's. Each chapter, which usually covers a decade, includes topics such as teens at home, teens at school, teens at work, money, fashion, slang, leisure, entertainment, movies, music, dancing, dating, sex, drugs, violence, reading, radio, comic strips, magazines, and family dynamics. Lucy Rollin deserves high marks for her dilligent, precise documentation following each chapter. Her references are clearly and correctly documented, which would make the book very ideal for research. She also includes a chapter at the end of the book called "A Note on Sources," which highlights what she felt were her most valuble resources in writing the book. She also includes an appendix of web sites relating to teen culture. Overall, I feel that 20th Century Teen Culture was well-written for what it was, but could have been improved even further. For example, quotations from people or teens themselves would surely have elaborated upon the content. Also, more pictures of substantial size would contribute to the book's visual appeal. Despite being strictly informative, 20th Century Teen Culture is an eye-opening book with countless connections to other works and references, that can surely be appreciated by both teenagers and adults alike.

Lots of info for beginning students and teachers.......2000-12-27

When I first began reading this book, I was astounded at the number of exercises that were given in the opening chapters. While I did know how to execute most of the exercises it was so helpful to have everything written down in plain english. As I continued reading I enjoyed the detail that Aileene Lockhart used in describing things like spatial relationships, planning performances, etc. My copy is pretty old but it is still filled to the brim with information that a seasoned teacher or a first year teacher could use. The one and only reason I didn't give this book five stars was because of the illustrations in the book. Beautiful pictures abound here but the line drawings here are horrible. I got confused every time I looked at them and I ended up just reading the exercise description two or three times to make sure I was doing the right thing. If there is ever another edition of this marvelous book the only thing to improve upon is the line drawings.

Great book. Very informative good for beginners.......2007-05-13

I won't give it 5 stars because I know there are other great books out there. But I will say this it definitely is good for beginners.

From a Computer Science Major.......2007-03-09

Being a college student learning lower level coding techniques, I was intimidated by assembler and learning a language so close to computer level.

While this text is fairly dry, the author gives excellent description and examples to help the reader understand the language. The author is successful at giving detail about the methods involved in coding at various coding language levels and performing the math necessary to succeed at this.

Also, Kip Irvine has very detailed web pages for all editions of this book. Very good tools are available via the CD and the web pages.

Overall, this book is a great tool for the student of assembly.

Did NOT come with CD!!.......2007-01-24

I bought this book for a class expecting to get the "Book and CD-Rom." Well, I received the book. But with no CD. So, I returned it to get the CD and I was sent back the same book.
