This new 'Horror Companion' from Hemlock Books focusses on the life and work of film director Bob Clark, whose eclectic career was brought to an untimely end by a car accident in 2007. Clark was responsible for several cult horror hits but is probably best-remembered for Deathdream, Murder By Decree and especially 1974's Black Christmas, which was instrumental in setting in train the 'slasher' sub-genre of the late 1970s and '80s... 96pp Bookazine. Full colour. Fully illustrated throughout!
Bob Clark may be one of the most understated horror directors of the 70's, whose cult horror films pre-dated the likes of Halloween (1978) and influenced the future of the horror genre. Simon Fitzjohn's new book Director Bob Clark: I'm Going to Kill You gives an insightful look into Clark's work from his first taster in film, through to his later roles as director. Set chronologically, each of his major works has a dedicated chapter and offers behind the scenes stories, interviews and the struggles that Clark met along the way.
