Customer Reviews

One of the all time great film books

This is seriously the best book on movies I've ever read. With a few exceptions--"White Zombie," "Murder by Television"--these films are totally unknown. Until now.Every movie in here was put out by the lesser-known studios--Monogram,Mascot,Chesterfield,ect. The book covers a wide range of sub-genres, from jungle exploitation films to action serials to sinister westerns, so long as there are vague horror elements.The authors have done a great service, and their writing style is very eloquent. By all means purchase this and seek out some of these films.

Excellent overview of some forgotten films

If you love obscure ,low budget movies,this is the book for you.It's obvious that the authors have a great deal of affection for these movies.My only complaint is they include a few too many movies that aren't really horror in my opinion-westerns with some spooky touches,etc.All in all,though,this is an excellent book.
