The haunted house transcends genre, appearing in mysteries, gothic romances, comedies and horror films. This book is the first comprehensive historical and critical study of themes surrounding haunted houses in film. Covering more than 100 films, it spans from the Mystery House thrillers of the silent era to the high-tech, big budget productions of the 21st Century. Included are the works of such acclaimed directors as D.W. Griffith, Robert Wise, Mario Bava, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Tim Burton and Guillermo Del Toro. The book also covers the real-life \"haunted house\" phenomenon and movies based on paranormal case files, including those featured in films like the \u003ci\u003eConjuring\u003c\/i\u003e series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Meehan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books on science fiction, film noir and horror films, and a contributor to the \u003ci\u003eNoir City Sentinel\u003c\/i\u003e, the journal of the Film Noir Foundation and to \u003ci\u003eThe Palgraves Handbook of the Vampire\u003c\/i\u003e.
