At first, there were myths and legends that were passed down orally among peoples around the world. The creatures mentioned in them appear in all countries. Despite slight differences in the description of "zombies," "vampires," and "werewolves," they are strikingly... similar. Could this be a coincidence? Or are real mental disorders of people hidden behind the mask of these beings? The author of the book is a clinical psychologist who has been studying not only psychology but also horror and its connections to our inner "self" for many years. In addition to analyses of classic films and the best representatives of the genre, the book presents studies of real mental disorders that have found their embodiment in cinema.
