272. Horror! The Definitive Companion to the Most Terrifying Movies Ever Made by Kim Newman & James Marriott

BOOK REVIEW: Horror! The Definitive Companion to the Most Terrifying Movies Ever Made by Kim Newman & James Marriott

Where there's good, there's evil. Horror is a bittersweet genre for most. Some adore it while others loath the mere mention of the macabre. Personally I'm in love with all things horror since the first day I got a taste of fear. 

Horror is the most exciting genre in cinema and this book is just what you need to explore the best scary movies ever made. Written by celebrated horror critics and a team of expert writers, this book contains in-depth profiles of over 340 movies from a century of terrifying cinema.

All types of horror film are covered, from creepy black-and-white classics (Nosferatu and Psycho) and jump-out-of-your-skin blockbusters (The Exorcist and Hellraiser) to splatterfests and slashers (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Saw). 

Horror! also looks at lesser-known sub-genres and movies, including Asian horror, comic horror, fantasy and more.

This book contains everything you need for your next horror evening's entertainment, whether you are a serious movie buff who wants to explore the deepest caverns of scary celluloid depravity or someone who would like to know a little more about one of the world's oldest storytelling genres.

Critically acclaimed and illustrated throughout with over 250 photographs, this book is a definitive guide to the dark side of cinema. 

Switch of the lights and get ready for a horror movie marathon that's going to leave you groaning and shambling like the living dead!
