Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Highly recommended for horror fans - If you have any interest in horror films, this is a must buy.Looking back to the early days pre 1900, right up to the present 2015. Rigby divides the book into 7 main chapters focusing each one in year segments, ie chapter 1 1897-1953 right up to chapter 7 2000-2015. The bulk of the book concentrates on what Rigby defines as the peak years for brit horror, the 60's and 70's. The book covers several hundred films, but gives a more detailed critique of the top 100 'major/landmark films' ,all between 1954-75. This is a fine, but it would have been a good idea to perhaps critique another 20 or so in this style up to the present day, maybe a top 20 or so of modern horror.Minor quibble aside, a really enjoyable read with many picts throughout. Particularly like Rigby's writing style, concise with many personal views, all interesting to read. Review: A definitive overview of the subject - Quite simply the most detailed and comprehensive history of British horror films imaginable. The scope is breathtaking, from the early days of silent cinema to this year's (2015) Woman in Black 2. Rigby weaves his insights into a narrative telling the story of horror cinema in these isles, focussing on key films (and not just the obvious ones) on the way. This edition has been updated to cover the mini renaissance of British horror cinema in the new millennium. This new section's interest is slightly marred by the mixed quality of the films released in this period, but their coverage ensures the definitiveness of the work. Two appendices are added, one capturing the marginal cases not covered in the main text and another explores TV's small screen chillers. An engrossing read for the connoisseur and a great overview for those wishing to delve deeper into our Gothic cinematic heritage. ## Features - Signum ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,300,908 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 565 in Horror Films 946 in Film Reference 1,088 in Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Television | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 122 Reviews | ## Images ![English Gothic: Classic Horror Cinema 1897-2015 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nJRjix2ZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended for horror fans *by D***N on 16 October 2015* If you have any interest in horror films, this is a must buy.Looking back to the early days pre 1900, right up to the present 2015.

Great Price. *by B***E on 5 July 2015* Best overview of British horror films I have ever read. I cannot praise this book enough, so I won't bother trying. Want to know anything about British horror? Buy this book. Very nicely laid out and easy to read. Brilliant. Before you ask, I have never met the author and I do not work for the publisher. It's just that I have been waiting for a book like this for, well, always. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/66162748-english-gothic-classic-horror-cinema-1897-2015](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/66162748-english-gothic-classic-horror-cinema-1897-2015) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
