Fragments of Fear: An Illustrated History of British Horror Films
Favs/dislikes: 6:0. "Fragments of Fear examines a wide range of British horror films and the stories behind them. The early melodramas of Tod Slaughter right through to Hammer and their rivals Tigon and Amicus, plus mavericks like Michael Reeves, sex/horror director Peter Walker and more recent talents such as Clive Barker, director of "Hellraiser", are all discussed. Films studied range in scope from the sadism of "Peeping Tom" to the mutant SF of "A Clockwork Orange" and the softcore porn/horror of Jose Larraz' "Vampyres". Lavishly illustrated throughout, author Andy Boot unravels a tangled history and discovers many little-known gems amid the more familiar images of Hammer, including a wealth of exploitational cinema. Fragments of Fear establishes the British horror movie as a genre which can easily stand up to its more lauded American counterpart in the depth and diversity of its scope." --From the back cover -
FrightFest Guide: Monster Movies
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. "Monsters have been a part of human culture since we first gained the ability to tell stories. They represent everything from our deepest fears to our feelings of alienation and estrangement. From its beginnings, the cinema has provided a venue to visualize monsters in all their fearsome and sometimes strangely sympathetic glory. They have become some of the movies' most unforgettable, enduring and popular characters. And now the entire spectrum of screen creatures is gathered in one volume. In The Frightfest Guide to Monster Movies, celebrated writer, editor and critic Michael Gingold starts in the silent era and traces the history of the genre all the way through to the present day. From Universal Studios legends such as Frankenstein's Monster and the Mummy, to the big bugs, atomic mutants and space invaders that terrorized the '50s, to the kaiju of Japan and the ecological nightmares of the '70s and '80s, to the CG creatures and updated favourites of recent years ― they're all here. 200 of the greatest creature features from across the globe are reviewed, with fascinating facts and critical analysis, all illustrated with a ghoulish gallery of remarkable monstrous imagery. Cult-favourite filmmaker Frank Henenlotter, creator of some of the screen's most idiosyncratic and bizarre beings, contributes a foreword, A whole world and grisly galaxy of creatures great and small, spawned from space, the supernatural and strange science, the beginning of time, beneath the sea and beyond imagination, await in this book. Dare you confront the beasts within?" -
FrightFest Guide: Werewolf Movies
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. "The crimson eyes of the werewolf have stalked us across the centuries. We are now most familiar with the wolfman courtesy of Hollywood. Over the past century, a diverse pack of lycanthropes has manifest on the silver screen – in big-bucks blockbusters and zero-budget B-movies – each revealing a little more of the nature of the beast. Within these colorful pages we encounter reluctant wolfmen and shapeshifting sadists, big bad fairytale wolves and lycanthropic nymphomaniacs." --Not on IMDB: -Attack of the Indian Werewolf (2010) -
Funky Bollywood: The Wild World of 1970s Indian Action Cinema
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. "Despite the often stereotypical notions of Bollywood, it’s not all weddings, wet saris and running around trees. In the 1970s, Indian cinema gave birth to a new breed of action movie, one that combined its own exuberant traditions with foreign influences like the gritty urban crime thrillers of the New Hollywood, Hong Kong martial arts cinema, and Italian exploitation fare. This was the domain of hard fighting he-men stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Feroz Khan and badass, whip-wielding heroines played by the likes of the gorgeous Zeenat Aman, Hema Malini, and Rekha. Let world cult cinema fanatic Todd Stadtman be your guide through this world of karate killers, femme fatales, space age lairs, bombshells and booby traps with Funky Bollywood, a book with an attitude as freewheeling and feisty as its subject matter, bursting with colour and imagination on every vibrant page." -
Giallo Meltdown
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. "There’s a right way to approach a film genre and then there’s the Doomed Moviethon way. Richard Glenn Schmidt dove into the giallo by having weekend-long moviethons with sometimes up to 20 films crammed into a very short amount of time. Armed with only a very understanding wife, a disturbing amount of caffeine, and a seemingly limitless supply of junk food, Richard pushed his eyes and mind to the brink of madness and beyond. Seven years in the making, Giallo Meltdown: A Moviethon Diary lovingly covers 215 films in thirteen chapters with all the black-gloved killers, fashion models, gay stereotypes, psychosexual subplots, hooker bonfires, inheritance schemes, and gallons of fluorescent blood that the giallo is known for." -

Favs/dislikes: 2:0. "Horror in the arts and entertainment, has existed for as long as stories have been told.

Horrorpedia Worst Horror Films of All-Time
Favs/dislikes: 6:0. "The following is a work-in-progress – many more titles are being added – but is not intended to be damning; in fact some of these atrocious movies are our favourites and just because a film is ineptly made it doesn’t mean it isn’t still entertaining, or even bizarrely endearing. This listing of the Worst Horror Films of All-Time is not intended to mock or denigrate the efforts of earnest filmmakers, amateur wannabes or even opportunistic hacks. Horrorpedia.com does not condone the supposedly amusing Golden Turkey, Razzie or riffing approach to mocking cult cinema, even when its clearly the lowest of the low. Smug comedic critics can easily deride the efforts of inept moviemakers as its easy pickings but that adds no value to a genuine awareness of the limitations of budgets, or the ambitions of would-be movie-makers, or the fact that some bad films are simply fun anyway." *Missing from IMDB: -Clown Around (2010) dir.

Lost Films: Important Movies That Disappeared by Frank Thompson
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. "Thompson examines 27 silent American motion pictures that probably will never be seen again because little thought was given to their preservation and the nitrocellulose on which their images appeared has decayed. These include Cleopatra (1917) with Theda Bara, The Miracle Man (1919) with Lon Chaney, The Knickerbocker Buckaroo (1919) with Douglas Fairbanks, and The Divine Woman (1923) with Greta Garbo. Synopses are constructed from pressbooks, studio releases, and magazine articles. In one section, "The Production," Thompson provides background and reviews and suggests the film's place in cinema history. Plots for The Immortal Alamo (1911) and The Battle of Gettysburg (1913) reveal that in the past, as more recently, moviemakers took liberties with historical subjects. And a 1912 film set a record unmatched by today's TV docudramas: starring survivor and actress Dorothy Gibson, Saved from the Titanic was released a month and two days after the actual sinking. Highlighted by enlivening photographs, this is a unique book, well worth the price." -

Noirish: The Annex To John Grant's A Comprehensive Encyclopedia To Film Noir
Favs/dislikes: 8:0. "The purpose of Noirish is to act as an extension to the Encyclopedia -- an annex, if you like -- where I can add entries for movies that for one reason or another didn't make it into the printed book. In some instances, this is just because the movie concerned was released too late for inclusion. Most often, though, the reason was logistic. Although the Encyclopedia takes the broadest possible view of film noir, there were some movies that were either too obscure or too tangential to the theme to merit the use of precious page space: 800+ large-format pages -- nearly 700,000 words -- may seem a lot but, when you're trying to cover in excess of 3,000 movies, you soon learn to appreciate the constraints. That's why this enterprise has the title it has: Noirish. Many of the movies here are very borderline noir, and some aren't noir at all but have associational interest. Just because a movie's obscure doesn't mean it's lousy . . . although there'll be some lousy movies covered here. There'll also be plenty of movies that are, shall we say, undistinguished -- which is not to say they're without at least some points of interest, and certainly isn't to say they're not lots of fun to watch." -From John Grant on the site's "Modus Operandi" section *#641-687: Of Associated Interest - John Grant does not consider these films noir but has mentioned them due to similar themes, actors or influences. **The following are missing from IMDB: -The Twelve Shorts of Christmas #5: The Bloody Fish (2011) -Tango Silent Films: A Christmas Present for Hannah (2009), The Private Lesson (2010), Oh My, What a Night!
