Desc-I am not sure what to think of this book. It is a extremely brief history of horror movies. The book does not seem to have any order to it at all. It starts off with "then" modern type films, then 3 pages on classic horror, then on to witches etc. Extremely odd selection of films to cover and strange choice of stills. Brief is the best word for this book. If it had a juvenile slant to it then it would be understandable but in this case the book seems lost in its direction. B&W pics PB

Pg-136
Desc-This book is all about what many monster movie fans base their earliest memories on "The Shock Theater" film package for television. This book traces the history of the package, reproduces the ultra-rare shock theater promotional book, and has tons of high quality photos. Now, I have seen this book several times on eBay. This book must have gone out of print quickly as the auctions have run up to $100. Steep for a recent book. My only complaint is that I wish the book would have also been released in a HB/DJ as its odd size in paperback makes it hard to store, take care of, and read. The book is a little flimsy as if not handled very carefully it can easily be damaged. The Shock Promotional booklet must have been this kind of shape as to justify the shape of the book. B&W pics PB
