THE BIRTH OF HORROR presents a global survey of monsters, goblins and things that go bump in the night, from the first screen conception of Frankenstein, to early home invasions and escaped psychos! These films are presented with atmospheric original soundtracks by Seattle's Hexafoils—meticulously constructed horrorscapes crafted from synthesizer
