Hey horror fiends!

i'm taking a class on american horror films and have to pick a book to do a report on. when i googled horror this came up and i thought why should i look around for a book about horror films when all the experts are here.

so - if u were going to read a book about horror films what would it be?? hopefully its interesting and doesn't suck (oh, and probably isn't too long)

Welcome and stick around - this is a great place to learn about horror.

King's Danse Macabre is pretty good

as is Adam Rockoff's Going to Pieces:The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film
http://books.google.com/books?id=W7-...print&ct=title

This one looks promising as well, I've been meaning to pick it up, but I've bought too many books as of late.

-Nightmares in Red, White and Blue: The Evolution of the American Horror Film(Joseph Maddrey)

-American Horrors: Essays on the Modern American Horror Film(Gregory A. Waller)

Projected Fears by Kendall Phillips is good.

there's some here

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_...&Go.x=9&Go.y=9

Although this is the british version, I'm sure the American one will do it as well

Clive Barker's A-Z of Horror if you actually need a book about horror films.

If you just need books with Horror themes, then check out The Rising or The Zombie Survival Guide.

david j. skal's "the monster show" isn't bad either.

please be a return poster. You would be a rare oddity. :D
