A brilliant book that one. You should also read Julia Phillips's You'll Never Eat Lunch in this Town Again-another brilliant dirt-disher. I'd also recommend Devil's Candy and Final Cut which are exposes of disastrous film productions Heaven's Gate and Bonfire of the Vanities, respectively.

Just ordered a used copy of this one...

I enjoyed the first book and this will be a nice companion piece.

I've just won this little gem on ebay for a bargain price of Â£3.24, I already have the Fulci one too which is a fairly good read although slightly short

This is the only FFM title yours truly never obtained and i still have the volumes dedicated to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (signed by Gunnar Hansen), Cannibal Holocaust and Fulci.

A classic tome on the good 'ol days and most probably the best textual effort on the pre-VRA period. An essential title for anybody who looks back on the VHS era with fondness in his or her heart. I know i do.

Ever since I got the Fulci one last year I've been on the look out for the others, stumbled on this by chance, I'll post some pics when it arrives

I just read X Factor Zombue Massacre by Stewart King. Very well-written short novel...gory, and slick. Perfect for anyone who loves horror and hates trash celebrity TV.
