In terms of overall history of horror - a lot of them are either really cheezy "fan-boy" stuff or really academic. Some of the more academic stuff is pretty interesting though - I thought Andrew Tudor's Monsters and Mad Scientists was very interesting as it looked at how the horror genre changed over the decades. A cool overview.
By the by, I just finished the book that started this whole thread (and oddly got me accused of spamming - hmmpph). Projected Fears was really cool and I liked where in the conclusion the author says that we shouldn't be suprised at the onslaught of remakes since we've got another Bush in teh White House and we're involved in another war in Iraq - political zingers abounded! It made me laugh out loud.
