Key texts such as The Curse of Frankestein, Dracula, The Quartermass Xperiment and The Plague of the Zombies will be discussed, alongside broader issues such as genres, stardom, censorship and publicity. The course will make extensive use of clips, stills, and publicity imagery. There will also be a field trip replicating period cinema-going experiences providing a context for the marketing and exhibitions of the films"
