Something of a coffee table book, something of a guide to the horror genre. Comprehensive enough as a introduction, explaining a bunch of conventions and subgenres before listing some notable classics. Nothing too shocking in the picks of Best Movies nor the description of why said movies are the best, but enjoyable. I wish the book was physically larger, like a proper coffee table book, so I could appreciate the images more. The font size would probably be easier on the eyes as well.

Great pictures, solid synopses of some of cinema’s best horror films and a breakdown of horror movies by categories such as, The Living Dead, Slashers and Serial Killers, Ghosts and Haunted Houses, and Voodoo, Cults, & Satanists, just to mention a few, are all part of this beautiful coffee table book.

GREAT photos. Get this book for the photos, not the text. Text is okay, but again, photos are GREAT.

Purdy pictures, but text utterly ignorable. A waste.
