A small number of the short subjects catalogued  herein are famous; such as those featuring the likes of Buster Keaton, Laurel and  Hardy, The Three Stooges, Bugs Bunny, and Daffy Duck; but the bulk are forgotten.  The diverse content of these shorts includes ghosts, devils, witches, vampires,  skeletons, mad scientists, monsters, hypnotists, gorillas, dinosaurs, and so much  more, including relevant nonfiction newsreels. Their rediscoverynotably rewrites  many chapters of the history of horror cinema, from increasing our understanding  of the sheer number horror films that were produced and viewed by audiences to  shedding light on particular subgenres and specific narrative and historical  trends. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-07-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030975630\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-97564-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 706.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45442204106892,"sku":"9783030975630","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030975630.jpg?v=1766063005","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030975630","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
