The 1940s is a lost decade in horror cinema, undervalued and overwritten by most horror scholarship. Lexington Books' Recovering 1940s Horror Cinema revises, reframes, and deconstructs persistent claims that label 1940s horror as somehow inferior to a “classical” or “canonical” mode of horror in the 1930s.

The book launch will include a 5 à 7 at Kafein café-bar followed by a free screening of Concordia’s rare 16mm print of Edgar G. Ulmer’s Bluebeard (1944).  

Hosted by editors Mario Degiglio-Bellemare, Charlie Ellbé and Kristopher Woofter; Kristopher Woofter is a PhD student film and moving images studies at Concordia's Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema. Co-presented by the Fantasia International Film Festival, Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema and Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies
