I love my uni library!

I've got this, it's a good read but I wasn't convinced by his central idea.

I managed to pick up The Hammer Vault yesterday for a couple of pound in a charity shop and I must say it's one of visualy impressive books I've come across in a long time. While it doesn't go into too much detail about the films, the unused artwork, press book covers, props etc make up for it.

Well worth picking up if you can get it.

Apologies, but 'Skeleton Key' deals with the subject of Hoodoo and not Voodoo

Hoodoo is a form of traditional folk magic, predominantly practiced by African-American, while Voodoo is a religion practiced chiefly in Caribbean countries, especially Haiti

Anyone got this ? Is it as good as it looks?

A heavy, hefty volume and a thoroughly fine read as per many FAB Press publications. It took me a good while to peruse the relevant book and there's a vast wealth of material of interest to both the committed and casual Spagwest fan. Passionately written despite a fair few typos, well illustrated and packed with words from many of the genre's leading lights including Guiliano Gemma, George Hilton, Gianni Garko, Tomas Milian and Franco Nero among others.

It's thanks to the above tome yours truly recently went on a Spagwest shopping spree and snapped up a fistful of vintage titles.

Highly recommended, pardner!:)

Anyone got Jonathan Rigby's new book Studies in Terror? Had a quick look through in Waterstones the other day. Its another collection of classic horror film reviews/anaylsis, but I saw quite a few interesting amd unexpected choices, and some I'd never heard of, which is always a good thing. Plus it's pretty handsomely designed, with each film getting a double page of text with poster art and stills. Think I might get it . . .

It's a good book that Deodoato one. I remember paying £30 for the first edition only to find out two days later that FAB Press were going to release an updated edition :mmph:

Did Raro learn from them? :D

Besides being revised, this is a hardcover, yours is a paperback, right?
