I could never understand the appeal of Famous Monsters of Filmland with its pages and pages of plot synopses - it's the thing I hate reading most in film mags. After two issues of Is It Uncut magazine, I never picked up anymore due to their fetish for endless scene for scene plot descriptions. Ramsey Campbell has a column in Video Watchdog, and 80% of the writing is laying out the plot from start to finish - it's easily the worst thing in the mag...
