Yep, that's for me. I was going to pre order it but it was £97 so thought that the price would come down or I would shop around.
Next I know it is £132!

All I know is one way or another that book is going to be mine.

Thats a bit steep for me i'm afraid.

I said never again when i preordered the Star Wars Chronicles for £80 way back.

STAR WARS CHRONICLES is a fantastic book. :nod:

It is. :nod:

My copy is locked away in a cupboard. Can't have dust touching it. :lol:

Right on. Mine is in a protective see through bag. Ha ha!

Coming April 23rd :peace:

Comprehensive and definitive volume telling the complete story of how Alien was made, featuring new interviews with Ridley Scott and other production crew, and including many rarely-seen photos and illustrations from the Fox archives.
In 1979 a movie legend was born, as Twentieth Century-Fox and director Ridley Scott unleashed Alien and gave audiences around the world the scare of their lives.
To celebrate the movie's fortieth anniversary, author J.W. Rinzler (The Making of Star Wars) tells the whole fascinating story of how Alien evolved from a simple idea in the mind of writer Dan O'Bannon into one of the most memorable sci-fi horror thrillers of all time.
With brand new interviews with Ridley Scott and other key members of the original production crew, and featuring many never-before-seen photographs and artworks from the archives, The Making of Alien is the definitive work on this masterpiece of popular cinema.

so i've just ordered the Ring boxset from Arrow. it's unusual for me to buy anything horror from the new millenium (yes, i know Ring is slightly earlier) (i have a few other j-horror's in my collection but they are currently unwatched), and outside of del Toro's Spanish language films i'm pretty much totally out of touch with modern horror.

anyway, to supplement my dipping my toe in the water, i thought i'd try and bone up on what happened in the noughties (all i've read so far is the modern section in English Gothic and Newman's revised Nightmare Movies), and to that end i was considering buying this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lives-Again...6274942&sr=8-2

has anyone read it? / recommend it?

Gut instinct if it was me i wouldn't bother. A paperback book under 200 pages for £25. :xmastongue:

Why not read the What Films Have You Seen? thread on the Labs. I don't think you can get better than that for modern horror.

hehe, see what your sayin', but its only one decade, how long does it have to be?

I still think you'd be better off reading the reviews for films on here. For example i reviewed one today - The Girl With All the Gifts - which i thought was superb and others seem to agree it's a truly unique zombie film.

Got this 650 page hardback on Film Noir from Amazon. £10.50 seemed a bargain.

I like those Taschen books I have a few of them!

any HAMMER fans out there with a sturdy table because you will need it for this one - 992 page hardback

Although I've had it a while,started reading Arrow's The Hitcher book and noticed on the back cover it cites Roger Harmon as the films' director.....:pound:

Sorry,must've been that other famous Roger whose surname sounds like Harmon......:happy:

I got this book from an Amazon seller. Released in 1977.
Came through in mint condition including dust jacket.
Forty two year old book and still looking brand new. Awesome!

I finished The Dark Side British Horror Film book last night.

The problem the book has is the fact it has several authors and there's a lot of overlap. I think i read about Witchfinder General and The Wicker Man twice - once in the chapter on AIP and again in the chapter on Tigon.

The individual sections on Tyburn, Tigon and Pete Walker were informative.

Overall i did enjoy it and will probably get the Amicus book soon, unless they announce a new book for release this November.

Picked up a pb entitled The Critics Were Wrong. Alphabetical trawl through some rotten reviews for "classics". Some are pitifully funny.

Arrived today..

FANTASTIC FILMS OF THE DECADES VOL 3: THE 40's PART 1: 1940-43

I will be posting a few choice reviews from the Critics pb I got. Lawdy, there will be laughter aplenty ;):nod:

Looking forward to getting stuck into this. Having a quick glance through, there are a number of films that would make ideal BFI Flipside releases.

I bought this yesterday as well!

Is it in colour and are there a lot of stills, Justin?

Noticed this is out in October.

It’s not arrived yet I got it from the tax dodgers!

Yeah, that's where i was looking. Waterstones have it at full price plus postage so sadly there's no competition there.

It really does sound like something i'd like.

I’ll let you know when it comes but for some reason I sent to the office so I won’t get it until Monday!

I reckon you’ll enjoy it though regardless.

I think i'll order it. It's free postage being over a tenner for books.

sooty
 

its a wonderful little book with some nice b/w stills throughout, my fav being a nice one of Sooty....
I can also recommend Are You in the House Alone?: A TV Movie Compendium 1964-1999 an excellent book taking a look at made for TV movies...

The Bodies Beneath has arrived, plenty of stills and posters, all in B&W no colour apart from the inside flap. Loads of chapters in themed sections such as 'Out of Towners', 'Tales of Terror' and 'Kids Stuff?'

Just finished reading Good Omens so I think I'll start this on the way home from work :)

Any chance you can post a quick still of a random page, just to have a look at the typeface, layout etc.

Sure, excuse my alien fingers :lol: It's hard to take a picture inside a book with one hand :D

Ooh! Thank you.

Sold! as Demoncrat would say. Going to order it this minute.

Says it will arrive Friday or Saturday which will be perfect. Probably turn up on Wednesday.

You probably knew, Justin, showing pages with Doctor Who and The War Game would sucker me in. :lol:

Just arrived! Ordered yesterday morning from Amazon.

Very quick delivery. I don't have Prime. If you have Prime does it arrive before you place your order? :lol:

I love the feel of the paper, it feels proper organic, very Wyrd England.

Generally amazon are quick, especially if its direct from them
