The Bfi Companion to Horror (Cassell Film Studies)

Rating:
Summary: valuable reference book
Review: As a writer, I have found Newman's reference book helpful. It includes subjects not addressed elsewhere and does a good job of explaining subjects that have been widely covered.

Rating:
Summary: Great Book!
Review: Marvellously comprehensive, with quite a diverse range of topics relating to horror and people who are associated with the genre, and other such entries.
A pretty handy guide for horror film buffs, as this is the major category it covers (couldn't expect more from a "BFI" (British Film Institute) Companion though, could you? :-) ).
On the downside, some of the entries can be a little overcrowded with film titles, but good for the completist, i guess.
I'd love to see further editions, with more up-to-date info (it WAS printed in '96, afterall.)
Defintately a recommended buy.
