The influence of 1930s- and 1940s-era horror films on the development of noir is detailed, with analyses of more than 100 motion pictures in which noir criminality and mystery meld with supernatural and psychological horror. Included are the films based on popular horror\/mystery radio shows (\u003ci\u003eThe Whistler, Inner Sanctum\u003c\/i\u003e), the works of RKO producer Val Lewton (\u003ci\u003eCat People, The Seventh Victim\u003c\/i\u003e), and Alfred Hitchcock's psychological ghost stories. Also discussed are gothic and costume horror noirs set in the 19th century (\u003ci\u003eThe Picture of Dorian Gray, Hangover Square\u003c\/i\u003e); the noir elements of more recent films; and the film noir aspects of the Hannibal Lecter movies and other serial-killer thrillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Meehan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books on science fiction, film noir and horror films, and a contributor to the \u003ci\u003eNoir City Sentinel\u003c\/i\u003e, the journal of the Film Noir Foundation and to \u003ci\u003eThe Palgrave Handbook of the Vampire\u003c\/i\u003e.
