I bought The Ultimate Horror Movie Guide by James Marriott & Kim Newman a couple of weeks back.

It is the most informative book out there on the horror genre. It has all the most influential to the most obscure movies. It is basically one big encyclopedia - decade by decade critical analysis to all of the sub-genres out there. A well written, thoughtful and highly entertaining read, that really pushes this into the "must have" category for all horror fans.

I have read a fair few books on horror but what makes this book stand out to me is the detaill. There was movies in this book, that I haven't even heard of, and I have seen everything. It is real critical analysis on the horror genre in my opinion. I certainly have more knowledge from reading it than before.

However, I can see your point of view. I believe you are not much of a reader - that may not help, especially for a horror fan, like yourself, who has a decent knowledge. For someone like myself, who enjoys reading, I enjoyed it immensely.

There are 365 recommended by the author to see, but they discuss countless movies through the years. That is the part that really interested me - the linear narrative. Discussing casually about urban vampire movies of the 90s like The Addiction, Nadja and The Hunger. The Addiction wasn't even listed as one of the 365.

Of course there are familiar titles that are mentioned but it is the inclusion of a large number of world cinema and independant titles that really interested me.

I love conspiracey theories. I must have read a dozen on the subject. Anything that stands out?

I am reading Hunt for the Skinwalker: Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in Utah. Crazy shit went on there!

That sounds interesting. Great it is available in PDF format!! I am just after downloading it.


Yes, unfortunately that is common place with authors/whistle blowers in this field. The truth is out there and "they" want to keep it suppressed by any means.


Here are some that I really enjoy (they are a bit out there if you don't believe this stuff):

1. Beyond Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Security Threat by Timothy Good

2. UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record by Leslie Kean

3. The Day After Roswell: A Former Pentagon Official Reveals the U.S. Government's Shocking UFO Cover-up by Philip J. Corso

4. Encounter in Rendlesham Forest by Nick Pope

5. The Dulce Book by Branton

To the non-believer, I know, it is far-out, but I love this stuff. I am as close as to a Fox Mulder as you would meet, except I don't work in the X-files unit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or do I emoticon
