Columbia University Press Save 30%* on new titles in the Cultographies series Frankenstein   Robert Horton    James Whale's Frankenstein (1931) spawned a phenomenon that has been rooted in world culture for decades. This cinematic Prometheus has generated countless sequels, remakes, rip-offs, and parodies in every media, and this granddaddy of cult movies constantly renews its followers in each generation. Along with an in-depth critical reading of the original 1931 film, this book tracks Frankenstein the monster's heavy cultural tread from Mary Shelley's source novel to today's Internet chat rooms.    Order Now and Save 30%!  $15.00 $10.50 Use discount code FRAHOR at check-out Paper | 128 pages | 30 images | £10.50 Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Dean Defino    Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965) is an enigma. A box-office failure when initially released on the grindhouse circuit, it has since been embraced by art-house audiences, and referenced in countless films, television series, and songs. A riot of styles and story clichés lifted from biker, juvenile delinquency, and beach party movies, it has the coherence of a dream, and the improvisatory daring of a jazz solo. John Waters has called it the greatest movie ever made, and Quentin Tarantino has long promised to remake it. But what draws them, and so many other cult fans to Pussycat? To help answer that question, this book looks at the production and critical reception of the film, its place within the cultural history of the 1960s, its representations of gender and sexuality, and the specific ways it meets the criteria of a cult film.   Order Now and Save 30%! $15.00 $10.50 Use discount code FASDEF at check-out   Paper | 144 pages | 40 images | £10.50 *Customers in the UK and Europe should contact customer@wiley.com to order.   FOLLOW COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS:
