Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Long before special effects and CGI, horror films have chilled and entertained audiences. Before there was sound and color, a genre known as comedy-horror took over Hollywood. Through the use of pantomime and gallows humor, the early days of comedy-horror films brought several hits to audiences like "The Cat and the Canary," "Puritan Passions," and "Spook Busters." It also gave rise to several Abbott and Costello hits. Read all about the early days of horror films, find out about prolific directors of the time, and the actors and elements of the films inside this edition of "The Best of the Comedy-Horror Films."
