About This Book

REELING FROM THE REELS
What was the original inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO? Where did David Cronenberg get the idea for THE FLY? Who dreamed up the character that Arnold Schwarzeneggar played in TOTAL RECALL?

If you have ever wondered about these and other great horror movies, REEL TERROR offers fascinating and compelling reading. In it, Sebastian Wolfe has collected the original stories that inspired famous film frighteners like DUEL, FREAKS, WHILE ZOMBIES WALKED, THE TWILIGHT ZONE and many more.

Among the all-star line-up of authors included are RICHARD MATHESON, ANGELA CARTER, ROBERT BLOCH, JOHN CHEEVER, H. P. LOVECRAFT and PHILIP K. DICK, contributing stories that range from the very rare to the all-time classic.

So if you want to know who or what was responsible for all those spine-tingling movie moments and to experience the original shocks, read on...
