Fearmakers, Vol. 1

Gothic horror author H.P. Lovecraft wrote that the "oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear." Horror movies play off the moth to the flame fascination many people have with horrific fear by creating the emotion in a safe setting. FEARMAKERS, VOL. 1 is the first of a three-tape documentary series of videos examining and reviewing top horror movie directors and the films that brought them fame. Produced by Simitar Entertainment, creators of the successful Christopher Lee-narrated 100 YEARS OF HORROR video series, FEARMAKERS follows the careers of various masters of horror, including John Carpenter, Jacques Tourneur, and Roger Corman. This volume includes Jack Arnold -- director of CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, REVENGE OF THE CREATURE, and TARANTULA -- and Tod Browning, who helmed Bela Lugosi's DRACULA and the cult classic FREAKS.
