Customer Reviews

VERY meticulous guide for horror buffs!

I own at least 4 or 5 so-called "Monster Movie" video guides. They all more or less follow the same format and are pretty inclusive guides, however, THIS guide by Stephen Jones is the BEST one that I own! First of all it is up-to-date with DVD listings, etc. and most importantly, follows the recent trend in Euro-horror by listing and reviewing several of the more well-known titles. I enjoyed the trivia and the foreward by Forrest J. Ackerman. And who can resist buying this guide with that awesome "Wolf Man" cover?!?!? This guide really is very thorough and the author should be applauded for his eye for details which makes any great work worth its salt....or in this case garlic, mummy wrappings, and silver bullets (or canes!)
