Title number 029 on our Black Label.
Join us for a night of horror, as we crack out our favourite movies, fill the snack bowl, grab our cosiest blankets, and kill the lights, ready for a night of fright. The group gets more than they bargained for when the dead rise from their graves. A CLEARLY HAUNTED HOUSE - Creepy house in the middle of a storm, probably full of ghosts and other terrors? Switch off the lights an immerse yourself in this terrifying blend of star anise, black pepper, and tarragon leading to a base of vetiver, sandalwood, Oudh, guaiacwood and cool amber. Fill your bowls with this edible accord of salted caramel, freshly popped popcorn, gentle amber, and fresh cedarwood. So get ready to watch limbs fly and blood splatter the walls, with this mouthwatering combination of fresh raspberry and pomegranate, paired with green gooseberry and zesty orange peel, all resting on a heart of rose, amber, and vanilla. Though he would achieve wider success in the 1980s with hit comedies such as Porky’s (1981) and A Christmas Story (1983), Clark’s run of three horror movies a decade earlier — low budget horror-comedy ‘Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things’ (1972), chilling Vietnam War critique 'Deathdream' (AKA Dead of Night) (1974) and genre-defining slasher masterpiece 'Black Christmas' (1974) — ensure his legacy as a master of the horror genre.

The book is 'easy to navigate' and generally there is a wide range of genres covered in a style that's very readable. Jacques Tourneurs 'Cat People' is included ,but also his rather creaky 'I walked with a Zombie' thus leaving out his 'Night of the Demon'(barely mentioned in book) & no inclusion of 'The Haunting' or 'The Innocents' & while the choices are spread out over the years ,to finish in 2001 with 'The Others' makes it look rather over indulgent to some of the older 'Classics' (some of which are name checked more than actually watched?

I don’t mind it though because it doesn’t take away from anything and it gives it a sort of vintage vibe! The book itself is great and lots of pages! Taschens statement of creating affordable books that 'Never bore,always excite! Horror Cinema-Taschen(2017): I find the'1 Star' review of this book rather surprising.

It’s a really cool book and I think any horror lover will love it. I’m giving it four though because it came with some wear and tear.

I also feel less of the book(nearly 400pgs) should be dedicated to 'Their Top 50'much of which is covered in the preceding sections . Time and thought has clearly gone into the printing of these images . , Cast etc & opposite a full page cinema ad'- many of which are(to me) lesser known, & most look good enough to put in a picture frame. ) Before each review ,on the left side is a full page given to Title & release year ,Director & Writer, D.

I feel the writing is not surprisingly where it lacks ,there could be more on non English language films- & I feel the stream of 'Found Footage' & the very popular Gialli/Italioexploitation could have been sections,while 'Possesion ,Demons &Tricksters' & 'Voodoo,Cults&Satanists' might have been combined. There isn't an index & it has a rather slight 'Chronology of horror films' , but it does contain a brief bibliography + A couple of tempting images & covers of other Taschen books (most available for the price of a large Pizza ). There are occasional slip ups, mistaking images from Tobe Hoopers mid80s follow up to his classic 1974 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre' is an obvious one.
It had some sort of stench to it and a few of the pages were folded over. There was also some tears in the book as well.
The striking cover (in English ,not the Italian pictured) is a standard that's kept up throughout . Just under half this book is based around 10 parts:These includes 'Sci-Fi Horror', 'The Living Dead', 'Vampires & Werewolves' etc The rest has Taschens choice of '50 top horror movies'. P. The 450pg book recently dedicated to 'Folk Horror'(vol 1) being an example.
