I enjoy how he links major cultural events to trends in horror and it gave me some major insight into Todd Browning's obsessions and fears.

If I had to narrow it down, I'd say my faves are Monster of the Month and Director's Dungeon. <br /><br /> I'm guessing you've already read it, but David J. Skal's book The Monster Show has a lot of info on Browning's history. If you've never read it, check it out...if you have, what did you think of it?<br /><br /> Keep up the great work on your blog...and have a great week! take care!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726570487056061877noreply@blogger.com
