Don’t
let the cover fool you—"The Yellow Wallpaper" subtly creeps into your head and under
your skin in a way you’re not likely to forget. Also available: the BBC movie adaptation,

student number and last name).
For movies, it’s hard to beat the classics—and we have some of them right here, including Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller Psycho; Carrie; and (Heere's Johnny!) The Shining, the creepiest movie ever set at an isolated hotel.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg—do a subject search for “horror” in the catalog, if you dare!
For information on the holiday itself, check out Halloween: From
Pagan Ritual to Party Night, available both in print and as an ebook.
