  If you like your detectives hard-boiled then Sam Spade was your man.   
   
  Originally created by the legendary Dashiell Hammett, Sam Spade’s move from pulp-book thriller to airwave legend seemed an easy journey. 
   
  Sam Spade, played by Howard Duff, was a sharp-talking L. A. based private detective who’s first question usually revolved about how much moola, how much cash, you were carrying. If it was a phone call this was usually accompanied by a desk drawer opening and a liquor bottle being summoned for duty. 
   
  The owner of License number 137596, had a way of not telling the police all the news.  His humor was tongue in cheek and the plots could put a corkscrew to shame.  The characters who came into contact with Sam Spade, Detective were either very glad they had or rather wished they hadn’t.   
   
  If you wanted results in the tightest of corners you had one choice; Sam Spade, Detective.  Let’s see what he’s up to. 
   
  We like to think we always have choices.  Sometimes we only need one.   
   
  Let’s get back and into action with Sam Spade’s next adventure.

  Do you like scary movies? Have you ever wondered why?In Nightmare Fuel, Nina Nesseth explores the strange and often unexpected science of fear through the lenses of psychology and physiology. How do horror films get under our skin? And why do we keep coming back for more?Horror films promise an experience: fear. But how exactly do filmmakers pull this off? The truth is, there's more to it than just loud noises and creepy images.With the affection of a true horror fan and the critical analysis of a scientist, Nesseth explains how audiences engage horror with both their brains and bodies, and teases apart the elements that make horror films tick. Nightmare Fuel covers everything from jump scares to creature features, serial killers to the undead, and the fears that stick around to those that fade over time.With in-depth discussions and spotlight features of some of horror's most popular films—from classics like The Exorcist to modern hits like Hereditary—and interviews with directors, film editors, composers, and horror academics, Nightmare Fuel is a deep dive into the science of fear, a celebration of the genre, and a survival guide for going to bed after the credits roll.
