It emerged at a very precipitous point, because the genre itself was suffering one of its periodic lulls. In many respects the 1960’s had been dominated by the pseudo-gothic universe of Hammer and the Poe inspired films of Roger Corman, their influence being felt throughout Europe and in some cases in Latin …
