Summary: ALL YOU NEED TO PREPARE FOR LE BAD CINEMA NIGHT
Review: The "FANGORIA" name on the cover was what caught my interest (and got me to pick it up since The Lair of the White Worm photo is like repellent - HATE THAT MOVIE). Once I journeyed beyond the cover I discovered enough solid recommendations to keep me stocked for ideas for a "Bad Movie" Night.As with any book of this nature everything is subject to opinion and where your preference lies. Personally I avoid any Italian Horror Movie (after sitting through Devil Fish) and some of the GROSS movies aren't my friends thing. But luckily, the 101 offerings cover a wide spectrum so at the very least you can come away with a solid 40-50 films that I'm betting will be new to you. Each entry includes: actors, directors, DVD company that offers the film, run time, a summary, and some fun-trivia facts. While I won't spoil the contents some films covered are: Apt Pupil, The Blob, Castle Freak, The Dentist, Hell Night, I Spit on Your Grave, Nomads, The Stepfather, and 93 others. Hopefully, Fangoria will continue to release books in this vein with ideas like, "101 Best Horror Films You HAVE Heard Of, 101 Goriest Horror Films, and 101 Sci-Fi Classics.

Summary: Good Movie Coverage.......Some Opinions Don't Agree With
Review: This book has very good coverage. Some movies I can agree with such as Exorcist 3, The Devil's Backbone, Pumpkinhead, and Alone in the Dark. Other films such as The Ninth Gate shouldn't be included but hey it's a matter of opinion. If you are a horror fan it is a reasonable price and it is a good reference for suggestions of films to rent.

Summary: Great idea for a book!
Review: When I got this book I was extremely happy. I have always been a huge Horror fan and am always looking to track down some gem of a film that I have never seen. Before purchasing this book I had seen 52 of these films, and since then I have picked up a few more due to the advice in this book.
Certainly one could make a case as to the choice of movies they selected. I feel several don't belong (Castle Freak or the Dead Pit) and some better choices were left out (Toursist Trap or The Evil Dead Trap), but that is all in personel taste.
It was good to see several lesser known films that I have always loved getting the proper recognition in this book (The Evil Within or The Resurrected).
My only problem with the book is the reviews themselves. The entries are very short and I feel as if a more in depth review could have been given.
All in all this book is well worth the money but it could have been much better. The concept gets 5 stars but the exection gets 3.
