At the end of the nineteenth century a huge explosion of classic horror stories became prominent. DRACULA, SWEENEY TODD, THE MUMMY, DORIAN GREY, JECKYLL and HYDE, The PHANTOM of the OPERA and many more grasped the Victorian imagination.

STEVE DIMMER takes us on an amazing journey to explore this phenomenon, from their beginnings to their place in todays’ culture, with liberal examples of some (not too graphic!) video clips along the way.
