About This Book

"Will any of us ever forget the first time we saw Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney? Or The Beast with Five Fingers with Peter Lorre? Or Die, Monster, Die with Boris Karloff? Whether we saw them as first-run films at the local theater or are only now becoming addicted to 'Chiller Theater' on television, the ghoul-watchers among us are in for a rare treat. The Ghouls is a horror film buff's dream. Peter Haining has collected the stories on which eighteen of the very best horror films were based..." "...In his introductions to each story, Mr. Haining provides a brief look at the story itself and the films made from it, including some fascinating bits of information about the making of the motion picture." Stories included: The Devil in a Convent The Lunatics Puritan Passions Phantom of the Opera The Magician Freaks Most Dangerous Game Dracula's Daughter All that Money Can Buy The Body Snatcher The Beast with Five Fingers Beast from 20,000 Fathoms The Fly Black Sunday Incident at Owl Creek Die, Monster, Die!
