Cunningham's Friday the 13th (1980), Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), and Don Mancini and Tom Holland's Child's Play (1988) - this book is a critical study of the low-budget film formula described as the "stalker" film, popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The discussion suggests reasons for its impressive popularity and demonstrates how a generic form is organized to speak a cultural text. Illustrated. Hardcover, 6-in.x 9-in., 154 pages, Text.
