I freely admit that I post the following as someone who is much more interested in writing than I am in Horror fiction. (I was going to post it in the James Herbert thread, but would have been too much of a tangent).
Four seminal writers at a point in time which must have represented some sort of peak in the genre: the year that Kubrick's version of
The Shining was released; a year after the publication of
Ghost Story; a couple of years after
Dawn of the Dead; seven years after the release of
The Exorcist (older in comparison, but still totally infamous at the time of this interview).
Well worth the watching, I think:
Edit - Sorry, just realised that I randomly threw in
The Exorcist without it having any specific link to the characters interviewed - just thought of it as an obvious datum in regard to the subject matter. Levin's,
Rosemary's Baby was almost in it's teens by the time this interview, but I think it too probably still had a similar aura of infamy clinging to it at this time.
