Horror films (Monarch film studies) by R. H. W. Dillard
Dillard first argued in favour of horror films in W.R. Robinson's book "Man and the Movies" in 1966. In this book Dillard closely analyses four films to examine just how the horror film is a valid and meaningful artistic genre directly related to our direct experience. The films discussed are:

FRANKENSTEIN
THE WOLFMAN
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
SATYRICON
