I've only had a quick glance through it but any book that puts DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE, RE-ANIMATOR and SUSPIRIA among the 150 worst films is not worth taking seriously. (Stephen will be fuming as loads of Full Moon titles are mentioned )

That series of books ain't for the horror aficianado!

I'm currently reading Teenage Wasteland: the Slasher Movie Uncut.

Must've read that at least three times!

An excellent book.

It's good, eh? Nice easy read without ever arguing into too much academia or pretension.

The Mrs works in our local Sense store and picked me up this curiosity. Should be an interesting read..

Yeah,no Michael Myers is a closet Commie bastard here!

However it is noted that Jason is a Torie-a ****ing lumbering zombie!

[Paul@TheOverlook]

Jason has far more charisma than your average (lava)Tory.

I've got this, it's a good read but I wasn't convinced by his central idea.

I managed to pick up The Hammer Vault yesterday for a couple of pound in a charity shop and I must say it's one of visualy impressive books I've come across in a long time. While it doesn't go into too much detail about the films, the unused artwork, press book covers, props etc make up for it.

Well worth picking up if you can get it.
