Apparently it lacks colour pictures, but these are probably the same morons who complain about watching black and white movies as well......:tongue1:

God dammit!

I can't do with black and white. :rolleyes:

Looks up the page at post 993 above and grins. :lol:

I have that book. It's awesome!

I have the companion DVD as well. It seems to be still available on the Tomahawk Press website. :thumb:

I got mine from Dino Books or something similar for £5.84 delivered.

Just bought at The Works.

Arrived today. Looks great, well worth the £5.84


Not sure what that line is through Dracula and the Mummy :confused: It's not on the cover itself. Perhaps it's an Omen kind of omen like the one that showed up through Troughton's priest in the photograph?

Three upcoming books - definitely make nice Xmas gifts. Except the TCM one which is Halloween themed.

So often associated with cheapness and low quality, pulp fiction and filmmaking have influenced the way we live for more than a century. Many respected authors and artists worked for the pulp and paperback markets, while films made for the low budget or youth markets are now rightly regarded as classics as they continue to inspire the movies and television we watch today. Profusely illustrated with more than 800 rare and unique images from around the world--including book and magazine covers, interior illustrations, movie posters, comic books, promotional items, tie-ins, and previously unpublished artwork commissioned especially for this book--this handsome volume charts the history of escapist horror and the individuals who created it. Compiled by multiple award-winning writer and editor Stephen Jones, and with a foreword by prolific and acclaimed author Robert Silverberg, this visual history brings together insightful and revelatory commentary from some of the genre's most highly esteemed experts. The Art of Pulp Horror is a stunning and informative guide to how, for over 100 years, we have enthusiastically embraced and exploited the gratuitous and the gory into our popular culture.

I can definitely say the TCM Fright Movies book should be an object of joy.

I have a couple of their books and they are gorgeous to look at.
