Through 33 interviews with as many masters of American fantastic cinema, American Nightmares traces the evolution of one of the most thrilling and creatively stimulating periods in the history of horror cinema: the New American Horror (mid-1960s to late 1980s). The book compares the artistic, social, and political perspectives of those who, whether consciously or unconsciously, for over thirty years have narrated, criticized, and depicted the changes taking place in American society through fantastic cinema. The interviews are all unpublished, conducted in person by the author between 2003 and 2013, and presented in full in English for the first time.
