Shock Value (book)
''Shock Value: How a Few Eccentric Outsiders Gave Us Nightmares, Conquered Hollywood, and Invented Modern Horror'' is a 2011 American book written by Jason Zinoman. It traces the evolution of horror films as they began to focus on more reality-based, less campy subjects during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
== Background ==
Zinoman wrote a 2007 article for ''Vanity Fair'' that was a precursor to his work on the book. Over four years, Zinoman collected interviews with filmmakers, and, after interviewing family and friends, returned to the filmmakers again, to find new, fresh topics for interviews. Zinoman also researched stories he heard repeated from multiple sources, such as the former friendship between John Carpenter and Dan O'Bannon, both of whom were responsible for important horror films in the 1970s. To differentiate the clashing styles of horror filmmaking that took place in the 1960s, Zinoman used the terms "Old Horror" and "New Horror". These are borrowed from a 1979 ''Harper's Magazine'' article written by Ron Rosenbaum. Zinoman defines Old Horror as being campy films focused on stars, while New Horror is more politically aware, realistic, and focused on directors. New Horror also has what Zinoman describes as a "postmodern sensibility of evil", where antagonists have no discernible motive. Zinoman says that films like ''Targets'' offer commentary on this change-over.
