Horror books Review

I purchased this book expecting some of the mythologies of the film to be collected in some sort of encyclopedic format.  Instead I was pleasantly surprised to find this filled with many anecdotes about the filming of many of the great classic horror films


The text is very dry and matter of fact, and many of the stories are ones told a thousand times over.  The pictures are well worth the price of admission with some rare candid shots and many publicity stills that are getting tougher to find.  Some of the anecdotes and quotes were new to me so it was a fairly pleasant read overall.


There are better books on the subject but this one gets a passing grade for a horror buff.
