This book will haunt you–until you get the answers right. It is a devilishly delightful collection of 1,814 questions and answers about the best and worst horror films ever made.

This is just a list of 1,000+ questions about a limited number of horror movies, with answers on the next page. I guess you’re supposed to ask them at parties or something for “hours of fun.” The questions are certainly trivial — eliciting a response of “who cares” rather than “isn’t that fascinating” — and it is tedious to constantly turn to the next page to find the answers. It felt a good deal like reviewing for a 5th grade geography test.
Thousands of facts are available, but many are perfectly useless and utterly dull, so why devote a book to them? If the goal of this book is to spark interest in the films or in the horror genre, it has utterly failed. My copy is going into the garbage.

This book is a wonderful addition for any lunatic’s library. It’s not interesting, not fun and not informative.
It has no information about horror movies. So if you are expecting a dictionary on horror movies, forget it, you’ll get dumb questions like “What were Dracula’s teeth made out of?”

It’s incredibly gratifying to know that three writers from Tennessee — long denounced as a hotbed of ignorance and incest — who are writing about horror movies, no less, can still be bothered to use the Queen’s English to do so. It’s very well written and quite interesting if you’re a fan of the genre. If you’re not, well, don’t buy it, because you won’t understand.

This book is AWESOME! I’m saddened that it is out of print, and would love if the authors (if still living) could complile another book along the same lines of all the horror movies that have come out since this book was published.
