Publisher Description
From the scream of Psycho to the psycho of Scream, The Horror Movie Survival Guide is your essential source for information on the creatures and monsters that darken your daydreams and stalk your nightmares. Separated into five identifiable categories—aliens, beasts, creations, psychopaths, and the supernatural—each horrific entity is presented with a full description, an overview of unnatural habits, and tips on how to destroy it.
This definitive handbook also includes a directory of horror films (So you know where to find your favorite monsters!), thirty photographs of the baddest of the bad, and a list ranking the worst creatures to grace the silver screen by their number of kills.
So the next time you’re confronted by the supernatural, the extraterrestrial, or the unclassifiable, look in here for all the facts—and run like hell.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dracula, Chucky, Godzilla, Annie Wilkes and the living dead are revered and revealed in The Horror Movie Survival Guide, an engagingly silly book in which the authors claim, "Horror movies are texts to be studied, lessons in survival." Hovering between metaphor and spoof ("No, it's not `just a movie' "), Matteo Molinari and Jim Kamm cite hundreds of films as they dispense information on identifying a given alien, beast or psychopath; what to expect from it; how to defend yourself (if this is even a possibility); and in what movie(s) it has appeared.
