Silent Screams The History of the Silent Horror Film

While the horror films of the silent era influenced the look of all the genre films to come, very little is written about this period in cinematic history and most fans can only name a handful of these Silent Screams. Author, screenwriter, director Steve Haberman offers a fascinating examination of these ground-breaking films including famous titles such as Metropolis, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Phantom of the Opera and not-so-famous such as The Cat and the Canary, The Magician and Haxan.
