--Grande Illusions (Savini)

Great book! Hang onto it: I sold my copy, that was in VGC, about a year ago on eBay and got $60 for it, but now wish that I hadn't..... :(

[DVD Connoisseur]

In the early '90s, I bought practically every horror related book or magazine that I could find. My addiction / obsession knew no ends! From memory, my collection includes:

Deep Red volumes 1 - 6
Deep Red Horror Handbook
Deep Red Alert (sic?)
Deep Red Anniversary
Most of the first 100 or so Fangoria mags, the early Gorezones, the early Headpress and Dark Side magazines from the UK, etc.

I have some great George Romero related books from the early '90s including The Zombies That Ate Pittsburgh. Great book. Also Romero's novel Dawn of the Dead.

I have some great glossy horror books from France and Italy. They're small but very glossy with the most exquisite photographs and are based on such films as Cannibal Holocaust, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Argento, Fulci, etc.

Altogether, with all my Chas Balun books, early guides to horror from the '70s, and so on, I'd hazard a guess that I have around 250 - 500 film guides / movie tie-ins.

Sadly, most of my books are normally boxed up so I rarely have the opportunity to read up on genre subjects.

My spending on movie books has really dropped off in the last decade but I have purchased the beautiful Beyond Terror Fulci book (ltd signed edition) and the Argento hardback (1st version) from Fab Press in the last few years.

I've read numerous other ones, but when I get to the checkout counter I find another DVD in my hand and not the book. :D

[Tuzotonic]

I always get fustrated and happy at the same time when I read horror review/reference books. I realize that there are so many movies I have not seen yet which makes me mad because I wish I had the money to buy them all but at the same time I know that my search for good horror will probably never end since good movies keep poping up all the time.

[Rockmjd]

Zombie Movie Encyclopedia

where's a good place to pick up more?

"Nightmare Movies" by Kim Newman is an excellent book. It covers the "modern" horror film starting with NOTLD and manages to cover a lot of ground.

Anyone read "The Monster Show" by David Skal? It's knock-out-of-the park great!

When it comes to horror review books, the most in depth and informative are by John Kenneth Muir. His nearly 800 pages of reviews in Horror Films of the 1970s (released as 2 paperback volumes) and the even better Horror Films of the 1980s (a single hardcover release) are must owns. Horror Films of the 1990s comes out in August and looking at the jump in writing quality between the previous volumes, should be the best yet.

[russweiss]

I own around 400 horror/sci-fi movie books and over 1000 magazines.

Thanks Fattyjoe I've always wanted to check our those books. I guess i'm going to need to now.

[chancetx]

I love movie review/guide books but I've noticed with everything at our fingertips on the internet there haven't been many new guides or updates of my favorites. The internet is great but nothing can replace thumbing through a book with hundreds or even thousands of different films reviewed. Thank goodness for the DVD Delirium books coming out of the UK. And great news on John Kenneth Muir's Horror Films of the 1990s.

Would love to see updates or new volumes of:

The Psychotronic Video Guide (Michael Weldon)
Terror On Tape (James O'Neill - one of my favorites)
Creature Features (John Stanley)
The Official Splatter Guide (John McCarty)

[Erick H.]

I'd love to see new issues of these as well.I have all the ones you've listed plus The Official Splatter Movie Guide Vol. 2.Though not exactly a ''video guide'' I've always been fond of Kim Newman's Nightmare Movies.That HAS been updated,I need to pick that one up.

[Chunkblower]

McCarty's Splatter Movie Guides are essential reading, if you can find them. Also out of print but well worth tracking down are Danny Peary's Cult Movies vols. 1-3.

I recently picked up a copy of Horror Movies by Daniel Cohen. It was published in 1984 and uses the key art from the original Halloween on the cover, yet makes no mention of the slasher craze of the early 80's. Talk about an oversight.

Horror Films by Nigel Andrews is a bit better, a little more scholarly in approach, and actually has some really salient points to make about horror archetypes, but is a bit too dismissive of more contemporary films. It was published in 1985.

And, of course, David J. Skal's The Monster Show is an indispensable classic.

I have the 80s one and agree, it is great. The 70s one was actually first released as 1 hardcover but it is hard to find now and OOP. I have been trying to find that version to match the 80s hardcover I have and the new 90s one that comes out.

My favorite academia during my college years:

The American Nightmare: Essays on the Horror Film (Robin Wood)

The Hammer Story by Marcus Hearn and Alan Barnes

both are worthwhile reads

[old-boo-radley]

I have They Came From Within: A History of Canadian Horror and Terror on Tape. I really enjoyed Terror on Tape and what I've read of They Came from Within... but I have only read parts because I haven't seen all the films yet.

[dave13]

has anybody read this? as a kid i found it in the library and read it cover to cover. years later i found it used, and picked it up. haven't read through it again yet. it's broken up by subject, with one chapter on vampires, one on frankenstein, one on zombies, one on witches, etc. each one details the history of the subject, then looks at its place in classic literature and then films.

Recently started to read The Complete History of the Return of the Living Dead. Pretty interesting and extremely extensive so far.

[KGBRadioMoskow]

I have the 80s one and agree, it is great.

I wanted to like the 80s book by Muir, but after reading review after review in which he inserts lengthy assertions that the particular film was a commentary on a grand social issue - and in this volume, AIDS and/or homophobia were the favorites - I pretty much gave up. Sure, many films - particularly in the *late* 80s - had a nod or even clear charge to such a message. But if Muir was to be believed those messages (again, in particular AIDS or homophobia) were pervasive throughout horror cinema production from the turn of that decade.

The commentary hit a particularly ridiculous level when the AIDS reference was made to "The Thing" . Not that the comparison was made, as *in retrospect* it is fairly obvious here - contrary to some of Muir's other references where the comparison is a stretch. But that Muir makes page after page of direct statements that the comparison was *intended* by the film. Which would be all well and good if the film had been released in 1992 - rather than *1982*. Making the claim the comparison was intended a rather glaring bit of retro-active continuity on Muir's part, as the CDC had barely acknowledged the disease when the film was in production, its method of transmission was still unclear, the public and news media was almost completely unaware of it, the term AIDS was still a month away of being introduced at the time of the film's release, and Carpenter himself had repeatedly denied the comparison was intended or even something he would have considered at the time.

It was this kind of reading of metaphors into films where they clearly weren't there - and ignoring glaring historical timelines in doing so - and then spending *pages* delving into the comparison - that caused me to preclude giving Muir another chance with his 90s volume. His 70s books had some over reaching issues, but IMO mostly stayed within the boundaries of film reviews rather than pontification masquerading as reviews. The 80s book steam rolled right over that line, and as insightful as Muir may have well meaningly intended to be, he over reaches to the detriment of his reviews' value. Not every horror film is a deep social issue commentary barely lurking behind buckets of fake blood, high pitched screams, and wince inducing imagery. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

[Spacevis]

Nice post Moscow :)

I like Michael J. Weldon's no-nonsense style in his Psychotronic Video Guide ... boy, has he done his homework! It still is and always will be my number 1 reference book.

Is this by chance the book you are referring to? I've been collecting horror/sci-fi merchandise since the 1970's. Currently I have over 300 books on the subject. This book came out in 1977.

Asian Cult Cinema 15th Anniversary Edition
Swedish Sensation Films

[allmessedup]

I have quite a few already mentioned, also UNIVERSAL HORRORS by Tom Weaver, which is a must for anyone interested in classic horror.

[startide]

They Came From Within (for the Prom Night pages)
The Encyclopedia of Horror Movies - edited by Phil Hardy. I first found this book when I was at University in softcover and devoured it. Tracked down the hardcover when I got on the internets and I think it was my very first internet purchase! Hardcover, cheap, but I think the surface mail postage got caught up in the wharfies strike of the mid 90s, and it must have taken about three or four months to get to me. I was sweating buckets the entire time! Since it was printed in 1986 the 80s are a dozen pages or so, but aside from a few glaring errors (Cannibal Girls has two different reviews in two years) and some wordy reviews (not my favourite!) it is an excellent resource (with reviews of films going back to the 1800s!). It was reprinted and updated some years later (1996 I think), but I haven't picked up a copy.
Dark Side magazines, and some other bits and pieces, but not much all totalled.

If anyone has suggestions on a similarly encyclopaedic look at horror, I'd appreciate it.

[allmessedup]

I just picked up the updated NIGHTMARE MOVIES by Kim Newman and really enjoy it...it covers horror films up to 2010, and I think is one of the first books to cover recent films.

[Anthropophagus]

Just reading The Complete History of The Return of the Living Dead and it's a wonderful retrospective of an awesome series, well the first three parts at least.

[chancetx]

Interesting post, Moscow. I really enjoyed Muir's book on 80s horror films but I noticed the exact problem you mention in his 90s horror volume, this time focusing on political issues of the Clinton years. It's like you said - in some cases this is warranted but too many times he makes connections that really aren't there. I'll have to reread the 80s volume to see if I notice what you point out.

[russweiss]

Just picked up The Hammer Vault and Hazel Court Horror Queen.

[Ash28M]

Updated my list, so i thought I might as well bump this thread.

[msw7]

just updated my list as well, since the thread was already bumped :)

[Katatonia]

This is one thing that I really don't own too many of. I do own these though:

The Hellraiser Films and Their Legacy (http://www.amazon.com/The-Hellraiser-Films-Their-Legacy/dp/0786427523/)

I own some other books, but I'm not sure I'd technically call them reference or review books... like Actor specific Biographies.

[fattyjoe37]

Updated mine as well.

[booper71]

I always liked the Creature Features guides, and the Video Hound Retriever just for how they indexed the horror in the back by obscure subgenres.

[Shannafey]

Not your average reference book, but some of you here might love this one. I got it a few months back. It is a reference guide to westerns (film, TV, comics, etc.) with horror, scifi and fantasy elements. Love it!

Got SIXTIES SHOCKERS last year, it's another one worth checking out.
