By the late 1960s, horror was stuck in the past, confined mostly to drive-in theaters and exploitation houses. Shock Value, in the tradition of Peter Biskind’s Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, tells the unlikely story of how an ambitious art form emerged when directors like Wes Craven, Roman Polanski, and John Carpenter plumbed their deepest anxieties to bring a gritty realism to their craft. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, Shock Value is an entertaining history of a hugely influential period in film, when groundbreaking masterpieces both conquered the Cineplex and redefined what it was to be afraid. n For fans of horror and suspense, as well as the works of Peter Biskind and Mark Harris n Also available as an e-book JAson zinoMAn is a critic and reporter who covers theater for The New York Times. He has also regularly written about movies, television, books, and sports for publications such as Vanity Fair, The Guardian, The Economist, and Slate. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
