Our second issue of The Movies Unlimited Essential Guide, written and designed by the exact same team that produces the monthly and annual Movies Unlimited catalogs, takes a comprehensive look at one of the most creative and important decades in the history of horror cinema-the '70s. Spotlighting fear franchise-founding films like The Exorcist, Halloween, and The Omen ; memorable screen adaptations of best-selling horror novels like Coma and Carrie ; sensational second-bill scarefests that filled the grindhouses and drive-ins such as Count Yorga, Vampire and Willard ; the menacing made-for-TV chillers that came into our living rooms like Trilogy of Terror and Duel ; the first pulse-pounding productions from young directors who'd become genre giants; the shudder-inducing stories still coming out of Britain's fright factories; and the very scariest that filmmakers from Continental Europe, Asia, and Australia had to offer. Over 140 undying favorites get their props with information-packed articles, and it all gets put into context with a comprehensive foreword from the director of Gremlins, The Howling, and Piranha, Joe Dante. Filled with great articles and dozens of rarely seen photographs. 100 pages. Perfect bound; 8" x 11"
