• 摘要: "In The Hollywood Horror Film, 1931-1941: Madness in a Social Landscape, Reynold Humphries analyzes representative films of this era and discusses their impact on audiences at the time. He evaluates what their success says about the society that consumed them and the filmmakers who produced them, particularly the subconscious dimension of the films and their ideological ramifications. According to Humphries, social, racial, and sexual prejudices of Hollywood's censors and the press went hand in hand with a sense of growing unease over what was portrayed on the screen. Focusing on abnormal and often sadistic acts, an unbridled lust for power, and the mad doctor/scientist's indifference to others, horror films of the era represent society's division of class and economics. , By addressing these elements, The Hollywood Horror Film, 1931-1941 will be of interest not only to scholars of film but also to those of political and cultural studies, as well as psychoanalysts and philosophers."--BOOK JACKET.
