Spamalot is scary
I heard Tim Curry on NPR talking about SPamalot - it sounded horrific - dancing cans of spam. . . run.

The List So Far. . .
OK - So far we've only got three books (hmmm, maybe folks here don't actually like to read about horror films. . . ):
Barker, A-Z of Horror Newman, Nightmare Movies Phillips, Projected Fears I'd add David Skal's book, The Monster Show. (oh, and of course, Newb's Spamalot!) :D Zero |
i have a couple hundred books on film ..
several are about horror .. I've been more interested in reading biographies lately and want to get my hands on the Dario Argento bio but haven't found it yet .. if anyone wants to sell it - let me know ! |
Romero
I got a hold of a copy of that "Zombies that Ate Pittsburgh" book that goes through Romero's career (well up to Day). It was cool - but I got it from the library - then I wanted to buy it and it was like $200 - damn. I didn't want it that much.
What's the argento book? I also liked the book of interviews with John Carpenter - I love his films but he doesn't really seem very bright. Oh well. ZERO |

Cool list zwoti- I've read a few of those but many are new titles. I find many horror film books are either really dense academic stuff (like that "Men, Women and Chainsaws" book - which has the coolest title ever) -or- badly written production histories. Its rare to find something intelligent and accessible.
