Burton aficionados will recognize any number of visual ideas that are wrapped into his later work, especially The Nightmare Before Christmas.

panThis was so utterly pretentious, I slogged through but overall just not a good horror story for me. Kicking off spooky season in all the wrong ways.
Book 27 of 2025
pickSometimes you go into horror thinking you‘re getting the Evil Dead 2013 experience and then sometimes you go see Malignant where these bubbles of laughter come out and you had no idea those were in there. This was hilarious to me. This takes place in 1980s Hollywood. We follow a horror director make his ultimate horror movie using a cursed camera. This harpoons the movie business and actors. So crazy. The end fizzled a bit for me. Still a pick!
pick1993 & the narrator (we never know his name) is approached by a group of young filmmakers to play the pivotal role of, 'the Thin Kid', in their film “Horror Movie“. The film is completed but never released due to various incidents on set & over the years it has gained notoriety & cult status. Several decades later & the film is being rebooted & the only surviving original cast member (the narrator) is approached to reprise his role in the film.
panThis one was so boring. I struggled getting through it most of the time. It should be called "how to make a horror movie" that's it, no and survive.The entire book goes on and on how to make and direct a horror film. I didn't like the characters because there wasn't any substance to them other than making/starring in a horror movie. And the monologs, sooo many monologs. Then the build-up to the gory ending, and then some deaths happen off page!2/5
pickEverything I wanted it to be.
The focus is on Black cinematic horror, but to address the subject well, it also dips into Black cinematic history beyond horror, and the Black experience in America, historical and present day. There is some coverage of international releases, but the book is primarily talking about US films and the minutiae reflecting the particular racism of each decade as it affects the output of Black horror cinema, 1/?
