Reviews

[Tim Schneider]

This is a tough book to review. It's a number of posters, lobby cards and some stills from classic horror/monster movies. And to that extent it's fine. The problem is there really isn't any...there...there. It's not as if the images are exhaustive. For example there isn't a single poster shown for Karloff's The Mummy. There are a few lobby cards and one still...but no poster. There's no attempt at any real information in the book. In fact there's little to no text at all.

I guess there's nothing inherently wrong with it. There's just little that's particularly useful. You can find the same images on the internet. There's just nothing here to recommend the book.

Very colorful

I love looking at the stills and the colors they used in the stills. Very cool, nice to see these great movies.
