American Nightmares Scrapbook – Shooting Diary and Scrip, by Buddy Giovinazzo

American Nightmares Scrapbook – Shooting Diary and Scrip, by Buddy Giovinazzo. 2018 softcover. 96 pages, very nice condition. Includes film strip.

In 1984, underground audiences began to discover AMERICAN NIGHTMARES, a shockingly grim no-budget feature from Staten Island, NY-based writer/producer/editor/director Buddy Giovinazzo. Cut by eight minutes and released under the title COMBAT SHOCK, it became one of the essential cult films of the decade. This was a release by Severin Films to accompany their definitive edition of the film, limited to 2000 units. The book contains a shooting diary, the original script, storyboards, rare stills and more — plus it comes with a strip of several frames from the actual workprint used to edit the film. Rare and Out of Print!
