This Guy Knows His Stuff
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
How do I know that John Stanley really knows how to review a film, any film - and make the review entertaining to read? Simple - he reviewed one that I wrote called "The Redeemer" (aka "Class Reunion Massacre"), and he really nailed it. John hated the film - and for all the right reasons. About the rest of the book - it's fun and informative to read, because John is one of those guys who actually cares about this genre of films - and he has the talent to get the right words on paper. Very rare - very much worth shelling out the money for!
This book is a MUST for any fan of the horror genre

Far to many books have fallen flat trying to accomplish what this book has done. It is THE BEST book i have ever seen when it comes to catalogue Horror flicks both theatrically and direct-to-video. Have you ever heard of Black Devil Doll From Hell? Probably not, but this book has a review of it. Before you rent Class Reunion Massacre you should know that you may have already seen this movie under the name The Redeemer almost 25 years ago. I didnt know that did you? Well it has entries for BOTH titles making it an essential have for people who never want to see a movie twice under a different title. The reviews arent always the best. Honestly, i LOVED Sleepaway Camp 2. But they at least serve as a wonderful checklist of the horror video market through 1995. This book does need to be updated in Y2K but for now it is a MUST OWN, my copy is severely dog eared from many back pocket trips to the video store! Buy this book!
I consult this constantly.

"Creature Features" is incredible--not only do I try to never rent or buy a horror or sci-fi film without consulting it first, but I also get yelled at for forgetting to take it along to the video store. This comprehensive book is an absolute must for fans of the genre, and, in fact, fans of film in general.
Great book for Horror movies fan.

I'm a big horror fan so I had to get this book! It's so great! I disagree sometimes witht the bad reviews (Sleepaway Camp) but sometimes I agree with the bad reviews (Last Slumber Party). I recommend this book to horror fans! Oh! And best of all if it's a slasher movie it sometimes tells how the victims die!
