Anyone have this book?

It's a HUGE textbook-type book on Exploitation films from the 70s and 80s. Its loaded with info and interviews with the people that made the films, and its a great read. Some of the parts of the book are a little slower than others (depending on how interested you are in the particular director/film being discussed) and the author tends to be a little pretentious at times, but I highly recommend picking it up.

Anyone read this? Or other good horror film related books?

I've wanted to get Nightmare USA for awhile now. I believe it is still in print.

The 2 Psychotronic Video Guides are REALLY good too. I only have the first one. It's a big book too....it has about 650 pages. Almost any obscure/cult movie you can think of is in this book. Both of those, however, are OOP.

Great book. Not read it in its entirety but I've flipped through and read a number of the entries. Very cool stuff. Highly recommended reading for any 70s and 80s horror nut.
