    I’ll make this simple for you: if you’re a horror/b-movie fan at all, you NEED this book in your life. Scott Stine covers some of his favorite b-movies, writes up reviews for blaxploitation horror films (not exactly a crowded subgenre!), gives us the scoop on John Stanley and Pat Boyette’s horror films (if you know those names, you should be ordering this book at this very moment), and even writes a compelling chapter about how he wasn’t able to write a chapter of the book on his favorite horror host from his childhood! This description just barely scratches the surface of the book, and Stine’s conversational writing style is perfect for the subject matter. Tremendous fun.

    Scott Stein has written a highly entertaining book on movies, magazines, comics and other ephemera related to the horror genre, and done it with insight and a unique and fun point of view. The book is a page turner and is highly recommended for those who grew up and enjoyed pop culture of the 1960s and 1970s.
