Description

Hollywood's Pre-code Horrors 1931-1934 explores the American horror genre during its most provocative period. Between 1931 and 1934, before the strict Production Code took hold, Hollywood produced films that pushed boundaries of sex and violence, captivating audiences while outraging reformers. These films, including Dracula (1931) and The Black Cat (1934), are thoroughly analyzed in this book, examining not only their explicit content but also the context in which they were made and the reactions of critics and filmgoers at the time. Raymond Valinoti Jr., a freelance researcher with a background in library science, brings his expertise to this appraisal. Valinoti's analysis provides insight into the era's fascination with horror and its impact on popular culture.
