That sounds an interesting read Bedorca. I think i'll try track it down. Also not strictly 'horror', but im currently looking for the 'Dark Angel' novel's. If they're anything like the series they should make for a compelling read. |

I'm currently reading 'Eaten Alive - Italian Cannibal & Zombie Movies". It has lots of excellent stills from the various film it talks about and some interesting interviews with the likes of Robert Kerman, Beatrice Ring, Giovanni Lombardo Radice.. Well worth seeking out as it's really informative.

I've just got 'The Cinema Book' for Uni and it is such a good book! lol! It has everything in!!! Unfortionatly, there is hardly anything on horror!!! As horror is seen as 'stupid cinema' and of little value. IMO - horror's the most important as it shows society's fears etc. So, you know what that smells like don't you? But apart from that its really good with tones of info in!

Unfortunatley that's true when it comes to studying film. I studied film and media for two years and horror was just ignored completely, we covered practically every other genre but didn't touch on horror once. I wasn't too happy and wrote practically all my papers/ essay's and stuff on horror anyway, unfortunatley it didn't go down too well. I tried to explain the importance of people like Dario Argento, John Cartpenter etc. but to no avail, I guess some people just don't appreciate high art |

Oooh! Where did u study may I ask (or is that too personal - I dunno!). I'm off to UEA next month. Luckily for me though one of the proffessors is into horror and has write several books on it; Mark Jancovich - anyone heard of him? But yeah - PEOPLE SHOULD APPRECIATE HORROR MORE!!!!!!!

Not at all mate, I didn't move away or anything I just studied at Leeds. Actually spent my first year doing Art but switched to Film Studies as it wasn't really my cup of tea (a bit TOO arty farty for my liking ) Last two film/books I read were William Peter Blatty's 'The Exorcist' and 'Spiral' by Koji Suzuki. The follow up to the excellent 'Ring' novel. |

Quote:
Most academic books ignore horror, like you said, so you need to look out for specialist books. Some good academic horror texts I've got (that have helped immensely with my studies) are The Horror Genre: From Beelzebub to Blair Witch by Paul Wells, The American Horror Film: An Introduction by Reynold Humphries and The Horror Reader by Ken Gelder. They're some pretty good general texts. If you need any ideas on articles or books to read just PM me and I'll see if I can recommend anything for you. That's if you're planning on doing what I did at uni and manipulate every single essay question so that I could write about horror!

Lol! I never knew the questions are as broad to manipulate like that. Thanks for the books Sarah (I'll check them out!) - If I need some help, I'll ask. Thanks again
