HORROR 101: THE A-LIST OF HORROR FILMS AND MONSTER MOVIES  VOL 1

FAMOUS QUOTES

"I was talking to these kids when this young lady who was about sixteen or seventeen years old said,
'What happened in the end?  Who was The Thing? What happened up there?'
and I answered, 'Well, that's the whole point.  You never find out. You have to use your imagination.'
Then she replied, 'Oh, God! I hate that!' 
That's when I realized we were doomed."

- John Carpenter at the test screening for THE THING -

    Welcome to our Reference Book Review section.  The above quote is something that I truly believe in.  Starting out as a young fan of the genre, I ate up any and all books that I could find on the horror genre.  The more photos and info that I could find, the more I learned.  And the more I learned, the more I wanted to find these movies that these books were talking about.

    Since you're here at this page, it's been either by accident, or that you are also a fan of horror reference books.  Over the years I've accumulated quite a collection of film books, movie guides, biographies, and even those enjoyable psycho-babbling books on the "true meanings" behind the horror genre.  So the reason for this section of the Krypt is to try and help you in your decision in whether a particular book is worth your time and money.  Each book will have a scan of the cover, along with details such as publication date, author, and publisher.  And also a brief review of the book, giving the high points as well as the low ones.  Hopefully this will be useful, giving our insight as to whether the book is a worthy edition to your collection, or to avoid it like the plague.  If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to send us an email.
