Frightfest Guide to Ghost Movies!

FAB Press will be releasing another volume in the amazing Frightfest Guide series, this time covering one of my favorite sub-genre of films, Ghost Stories! Award winning filmmaker and author Axelle Carolyn will be delving into the history of this sub-genre, going over the last 120 years, and giving us reviews the 200 most memorable titles from around the world.

Like the first two volumes in this series, The FrightFest Guide to Exploitation Movies and The FrightFest Guide to Monster Movies, this volume will be beautifully laid out and illustrated. FAB always produced amazing quality and fantastic looking books, so I know I will be adding this to the library as soon as it hits the states. It will be making its debut next weekend at the Frightfest convention in the UK. It won’t hit the states until Oct. 26th, priced at $24.95.

Book Review: It Lives Again! Horror Movies in the New Millennium

It Lives Again! Horror Movies in the New Millennium
By Axelle Carolyn
Published by Telos Publishing Ltd, 2008.  191 Pages.

Author, actress, journalist, director, and all around horror fan, Axelle Carolyn has given us a beautifully laid out book that covers the horror films of the last decade. Filled with a great selection of stills and poster and DVD box art, there is a lot more to this book than the look of it. Carolyn is no slouch when it comes to the horror genre. She knows her stuff, and knows it well. This book covers the good, the bad, the well known, and even the not-so-well known. Plus, for us fans in the states, it’s great that she has complied films from all over the world. So no matter where you are, you’ll hear about films from Japan, Korea, the UK, and even Switzerland.
