The American Nightmare
Disfigured knife-wielding murderers. Buxom teens fleeing for their lives through dark woods. Hordes of the undead limping along deserted streets. These iconic horror images were born in the groundbreaking films of horror maestros Wes Craven, John Carpenter, George A. Romero, David Cronenberg, John Landis and Tobe Hooper. Exploding with gruesome clips from fright favourites and candid interviews with their creators, "The American Nightmare" celebrates the "golden age of Horror" with the legends who brought the horror film back from the dead.
