"Beware the beat ...!"
Mods & Shockers: British Horror of the 1960s is a massive, detail-laden, 466-pg volume from We Belong Dead, edited by Eric McNaughton and Darrell Buxton, with a forward by terror titan, Ramsey Campbell.
It's not just horror that's enclosed, for there are also entries on fantasy and action-adventure (even materials aimed at kids), which in turn further captures the intoxicating essence of the decade.
More than 150 productions are featured, each stacked with fascinating facts and antidotes, which include works from Hammer, Amicus, Trigon and more, headlining such noted titles as Curse of the Werewolf, The Gorgon, The Reptile, Plague of the Zombies, The Phantom of the Opera, The Mummy's Shroud, The Terror of the Tongs, The Vampire's Kiss, Dracula Has Risen from the Grave, Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed, The Flesh and the Fiends, Doctor Blood's Coffin, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, Torture Garden, The Innocents, The Haunting, The Hands of Orlac, The Frozen Dead, Theatre of Death, Psycho Circus, It!, The Devil Rides Out, The Witchfinder General (The Conqueror Worm), The Crimson Cult, Masque of the Red Death, The Tell-tale Heart, Peeping Tom, Village of the Damned, Children of the Damned, Doctor Who and the Daleks, Gorgo, Jason and the Argonauts, One Million Years B.C., The Lost Continent, City Under the Sea (War-Gods of the Deep), Island of Terror, The Avengers, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and onward and beyond (with even a pleasant slip into some early-1970s submissions).
The volume is uplifted by gorgeous graphics for its lurid subjects, consisting of rare photos and global, promotional content that's nothing short of eye-popping. In fact, on the whole, one could consider Mods & Shockers as much an art book as one of historical, cinematic measure.
There's no argument about it. Mods & Shockers is an amazing, absorbing volume that will consume hours of one's time and in the best, possible way. Add it to your library today in either hardback or paperback. You won't regret it.
