"From the classics of Georges Méliès and F.W. Murnau to the blood-fests of Tobe Hooper and the great David Croneberg, '101 Horror Movies You Must See Before You Die' explores the enduring popularity of the horror flick. Fascinating and disturbing, these films expose our most primal fears: our nightmares, our terrors, our vulnerability and revulsion, our terror of the unknown, and our fear of sex, death or the loss of identity."
