How to Survive a Horror Movie: All the Skills to Dodge the Kills

Great fun all around. I'm not a horror movie fan, but have seen/heard enough to appreciate all the references. One warning: this is a PG13 rated book, with references to sex and an occasional dirty word, so use discretion when giving it to your kids to read. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it's really too easy to make fun of the genre. When rating humor, I reserve highest rating for writers who make fun of things that are not normally funny (P.J. O'Rourke is a stellar example, and to a lesser extent Dave Barry). ( )

Very cute. So far my favourite Quirk book. It makes great bathroom reading and also cleanses the palate after some heavier reading. ( )

This is by far one of my most favorite sardonic horror books of all time! I mean who doesn't love a good guide on the horror genre!? I know I do!

This little book also packs a lot of punch with in the first few chapters. The artwork throughout the book is awesome and stands true to what is being described in each section of each chapter. I love chapter #2 the most, because it's called 'Slasher Survival School - Masks, Gloves, and Motels'. I feel that the second section called 'Surviving Summer Vacation', is the most fitting currently because it is summer. But also because who doesn't love those campy horror flicks where people go to cabins or take road trips or even sleep away camp plots and you just know how its going to turn out. But it makes you wanna go "hmm i wonder if I'm in one myself?". The good news is that this book lets you know, the bad news it if you are S.O.L. for you!

Haha, anyway, this book is a MUST OWN for horror fanatics, especially of the slasher genre of the 80's, because it has everything you love and more! Seriously, you won't regret owning this book! ( )

A fun book to read. It really ties in the ideas of some amazing horror movies and makes you laugh. It has some fun information and is tied together neatly. If you're a fan of horror movies you'll get such a kick out of this that you may find yourself referencing it as well. For me, it was a great read that made me laugh and share it with others! Fun fun fun! ( )

I received this book as a gift a couple birthdays ago, and it was fun to read, but nothing I particularly related to, and I can't remember anything specific that made an impression. If I'd been shopping for myself, I'd label this a "leaf through in the store but don't actually purchase" book. Amusing, but by no means worth a second read. ( )
