- Synopsis
- What was really responsible for the influx of violent horror movies like Saw and Hostel? Selling the Splat Pack reveals the secret history of how the DVD market changed horror movies and film ratings. These changes made way for horror films like those by the ‘Splat Pack’, a group of directors including Eli Roth, Rob Zombie and James Wan. This book re-examines the history of the American horror film from a business perspective and explores how DVD influenced the production of American horror films during the first decade of the 21st century.
