Creature Features

Those of you who know me well are aware of the fact that I'm a huge Sci-Fi and Horror movie fanatic... I got this book(more accurately it's a "Guide") from a friend once. Creature Features is "the" Science-Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Movie Guide. The book I have only covers movies up until 1996 but I will, eventually, purchase an updated one.

For those of you who don't know him, John Stanley hosted the popular Creature Features TV series in the San Francisco Bay area for six years. He has covered the science fiction, fantasy, and horror scene for the San Francisco Chronicle for more than thirty years. He has interviewed dozens of superstars and genre stars.

Foreign films, animated films, silent films, films you forgot about, films you didn't even know existed. Creature Features has all this and more. Thousands of capsulized reviews, a five star rating system, hundreds of rare and obscure titles, video and laserdisc distribution information, cross-references to secondary titles, sequels and tricky retitlings. But what I love most about this guide, is the humor. If a movie really sucks, John Stanley's review of it will often make you laugh. Every fan should have it.
