You can grab the book direct from Creepy Images and FAB Press are selling it too. I got mine from Creepy Images and it cost just over €50 all in. Expensive, but I think very worth it...

Last post of the night and it's off to bed for me on this stormy night, and another chapter of City of Nets - A Portrait of Hollywood In the 40's. Favourite anecdote so far - Jack Warner painting a huge sign on the roof of one of the studio's soundstages, saying Lockheed That-A-Way, lest Japanese fighter pilots confuse the film studio for the arms manufacturing plant nearby...

I want that!!!

This came today. Was just under £13 on Amazon too. Had a quick flick through and looks like a great book. Gonna start on it once I finished Alan Jones' revised Argento book.

I have the first pressing of this book, its a great read. I've been thinking about getting the updated version too and I've asked my sister for the Argento book, which I'm really looking forward to browsing through on Xmas morning

Gah, just lost out on Stephen Thrower's Fulci book on eBay! Was at £18 with no bids until the last minute where it went for £34 = £4 p&p. I went up to £33 out of madness but wasn't prepared to go over that (have some money in Paypal funds due to recent sales on eBay)

It's rare they show up on ebay too these days, luckily I bought mine from Amazon about 10 years ago for just over £20*




*Not trying to rub it in or owt :)

what the unholy...? how did I miss out on that, been trawling eBay for that for years... I would've paid that as well! last copy I saw was in the region of a ton... good news for you though, I have an email from Harvey at Fab Press confirming a re-issue of Beyond Terror 'in the next year or two', can you wait that long? ;)

I'm always on the look out for the FP Bava and original Argento books, which stupidly I held off buying years ago, not realising how expensive they'd end up :mmph:

I seem to remember I got Art Of Darkness on eBay for about 30 quid... to be fair, unless you're a completist or have an interest in more than one point of view, I'd stick with the updated version of Profondo Argento, that is a thing of beauty

Just been checking out the Fab Press website and they have these items of interest for many of us, unfortunately way out of my price range

Yeah, I always regretted not picking up FAB's Ten Years of Terror and the nunsploitation book - both way too expensive nowadays even if you can find 'em, but fair dues to FAB, when they say you're buying a limited edition they usually mean it...

Preordered the paperback edition of this today. Would have liked the hardback but it was limited to 100 copies and didn't have the spare cash at the time. Out in March and was only £11.99 at Sainsburys.

I received a gift card for WH Smith for Christmas. I ordered this on Monday with it, and it arrived today.

So, so sexy.

Very nice, had my eye on that for a while now

I love these:

I immediately ordered it after I had read Dem's favourable comment on it somewhere else on this forum. :)

Greetings!

Some lovely stills aren't there Prince.

That full page of Ingrid in the bath tub is worth the price alone. :nod:

Yep, one of the best pictures in the book. :nod:

Three more favourites of mine: patriotic Raquel Welch (p.25), nude Sharon Tate (p.49), and Brigitte Bardot in a corset (p.71). :faint: :love: :faint:

Yeah that Bardot pic made me order Viva Maria! on dvd. :doh:

When I was a child, instead of the usual pictures on the wall above the fireplace, my parents had a massive poster of BB topless in the sea. We had Victorian lesbian erotica in the bathroom and toilet! No wonder I'm so damaged.

Bet your mates loved to visit. ;)

It's one of my five favourite films of all time! Sexy, funny, lots of action, two great-looking actresses - what's not to love!! :)

Excellent news.

I look forward to seeing it now Prince.

Re-Agitator
A Decade of Writing on Takashi Miike

This new book collects more than ten years' worth of his writing on Miike. From dusty film sets in Japan to festival intrigue on the Riviera, and from the straight-to-video ghetto to the stage, Mes covers the full scope of this unclassifiable filmmaker's life and work - with the kind of detail and intimacy that only an insider can provide.

Fully endorsed by the filmmaker himself, the full-colour Re-Agitator: A Decade of Writing on Takashi Miike also features a provocative foreword and a gallery of unique set photos by longtime Miike collaborator Christian Storms.

This book is NOT Agitator Part 2. It doesn't continue where the first one left off, but rather collects the vast majority of the writing on Miike that Mes has done over the years for magazines, websites, DVD liner notes, in non-English-language books, as well as for festival catalogues. This luxurious coffee-table hardback also contains previously unpublished material, like an interview recorded at the 2005 Venice film festival, plus a piece on 13 Assassins written exclusively for this book.

The first 200 copies bought direct from FAB Press will be individually numbered and autographed by both Takashi Miike, and author Tom Mes. This signed and numbered edition will be available direct from FAB Press only.

done and done!

I'm reading Lynch on Lynch at the minute, fascinating stuff. He'll never say anything about the Eraserhead baby though will he? Even when the interviewer tries to trick him into the tiniest slip he's on to him.

Yours truly visited discount bookstore The Works in Gateshead's Metro Centre this morning and snapped up the above tome for half price at just £3.99. Bargain!

There were several copies still on sale for any North-East based members here who may fancy buying one.:)

Damn. Already have that. Ah well :)

I guess great minds think alike? :lol: ;)

Book delivery this morning,

PittsBurgh film history on set in the steel city
Night, Dawn and Day of the dead get a mention
along with Effects and Savini's Night of the living dead
remake. Other movies get a mention too, but I'm less
familiar with them. Hopefully it'll be a good read :coolblue:

still awaiting Re-Agitator.... gah!

I'm really glad you posted this as I was worried about my order as I thought it would have arrived now.

I got an email from Fab the other day saying that they'll be delayed because they're waiting on Miike to sign them

Ahhh. My order confirmation stated that I also have one of the 200 signed copies but I didn't get that email oddly enough. Hmm..



edit: no, I did! It went to the spam folder.

I was just given the incredible (and mammoth sized) book, John Landis' Monsters In The Movies!


It's a massive hardback, written by Landis containing a number of interviews and a whole bunch of images from horror and sci-fi films. A thing of beauty!

Awesome book, I've lost count the number of times I've stood reading it in WHSmith's, I'll buy it one day :lol:

This is superb.
I see it's now OOP.

Another great book, I picked it up from the Bradford Media Museum
