Featuring chapters on Pontypool, Ginger Snaps, 1970s slasher films, Quebec horror, and the work of David Cronenberg, among many others, The Canadian Horror Film unearths the terrors hidden in the recesses of the Canadian psyche. It examines the highlights of more than a century of Canadian horror filmmaking and includes an extensive filmography to guide both scholars and enthusiasts alike through this treacherous terrain.
Gina Freitag is an independent scholar and the founder of the Cellar Door Film Festival in Ottawa. André Loiselle is a professor in the Film Studies program and assistant vice-president (Academic) at Carleton University.
