Reviews
Best explores Australian cinema through the lens of horror, a genre targeted by government censors in 1948 to appease religious groups and entertainment watchdogs. As a result, horror was ultimately banned for 20 years. The author spotlights what happened during and after the 1948 horror embargo. ... This title ably conveys the fickle nature of censorship and skillfully details the history and significance of horror films in Australia."-Library Journal
