Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot: Studies in the Horror Film
by Tony Earnshaw

Description
Despite being held in almost total disregard by horror film cinephiles, Tobe Hooper's adaptation of Stephen King's Salem's Lot (1979) remains a fan favorite, and easily ranks as one of the most popular horror films ever created for television. This is the first book-length critical commentary ever published on this film, and contains many new interviews, behind-the-scenes stills, poster artwork, and other extras.Tags

This was definitely not what I was expecting. Because it says, "Studies in the Horror Film" I thought there would be some critical essays about the subject, genre, and film. Maybe some production essays. Instead it's a book of interviews. And the information is repeated again, and again, and again. I enjoyed the photos, and the collection of the varying poster art. My favorite interviews were those with Reggie Nalder and Geoffery Lewis. However, for the price and "title", I was expecting much, much more.
