From the vengeful ghosts of J-horror to the walking dead in 28 DaysLater and World War Z, from the creepiness of Spains haunted houses to the graphic gore of the New French Extremism, horror is everywhere in the twenty-first century. This lively and illuminating book explores over 100 contemporary horror films, providing insightful and provocative readings of what they mean while including numerous quotes from their creators. Some of these films, including The Babadook, The Green Inferno, It Follows, The Neon Demon, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and The Witch are so recent that this will be one of the first times they are discussed in book form.The book is divided into three main sections: nightmares, nations and innovations. Nightmares looks at new manifestations of traditional fears, including creepy dolls, haunted houses and demonic possession as well as vampires, werewolves, witches and zombies; and also considers more contemporary anxieties such as dread of home invasion and homophobia. Nations explores fright films from around the world, including Australia, Canada, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, India, Japan, Norway, Russia, Serbia, Spain and Sweden as well as the UK and the US. Innovations focuses on the latest trends in terror from 3D to found-footage films, from Twilight teen romance to torture porn, and from body horror and eco-horror to techno-horror. Parodies, remakes and American adaptations of Asian horror are also discussed.

He describes his marriage to his beloved wife, Joan, and writes lucidly about the pain of losing her to cancer. The Play Goes On adds to his lifes story, as he wins the Pulitzer Prize and reflects with humor and insight on his tumultuous life and meteoric career.Neil Simons terrific memoirs are worth revisiting (New York Post). Now, with the whole story in one place, he traces the history of modern entertainment over the last fifty years as seen through the eyes of a man who started life the son of a garment salesman and became the greatestand most successfulAmerican playwright of all time.

In Geordie Shore star Scotty Ts first ever book, we hear the tearaway Toons exclusive, behind-the-scenes account of the MTV show. If you thought Scotty Ts outrageous behaviour on Geordie Shore was just for the cameras, think again. Long before starring in the show, Scotty was living life to the fullest and getting up to all sorts. In this hilarious page turner, Scotty T will not only let slip scandalous secrets from Geordie Shore, Ex on the Beach and Celebrity Big Brother, but will open up about his antics when the cameras stop rolling. But its not all sex, fights and getting mortal! Scotty also reveals a surprisingly softer side and opens up about living with ADHD, coping with the breakdown of his parents marriage and picking up the pieces after the loss of a loved one. The rascal also reflects on the lasses who have tried and failed to tame his heart and introduces us to the love of his life who has been living in the shadows all this time. And if all that wasnt enough, Scotty explains why he loves maths so much, what it was like to join the Neighbours cast, plus finally admits what he really thinks about his castmates, why he was nearly kicked off the show by producers and what life has in store for him after Geordie Shore.

Autour des années soixante, des cinéastes tentent de se rapprocher des personnes filmées et de donner la parole aux protagonistes dans un son direct et synchrone. Partant du point de vue des techniciens, ce livre explore les differentes manieres dont les cineastes du direct accompagnent levolution des techniques et des mentalites a lOffice national du film du Canada. Basee sur une exploration des archives techniques, la rencontre avec des temoins et une analyse de la production de lOffice, dont les films oublies du Canadien-français Pierre Petel ou les classiques du cinema quebecois Les Raquetteurs ou Pour la suite du Monde, ce livre replace levolution legere et synchrone dans lhistoire du cinema et des techniques. En effet, cest en cherchant a sadapter a la realite filmee, au lieu dorganiser le reel en fonction de la camera comme dans les cinemas classiques, que les cineastes provoquent une evolution legere et synchrone des dispositifs, sinscrivant ainsi dans une tendance alternative du cinema. Plus largement, les techniques legeres et synchrones participent a lelectrification de limage audiovisuelle : dun cote, cette evolution est rendue possible par la regulation des moteurs electriques et lenregistrement magnetique du son. De lautre, certaines des innovations proposees par les techniciens du direct (time code, lentilles, ergonomie des camescopes ou micro-trottoir) servent de base au developpement de la video legere dans les annees soixante-dix, modifiant notre conception de la technique audiovisuelle.
