The Encyclopedia of Horror Movies, edited by Phil Hardy. 1986 first US edition massive hardcover. 408 pages, very nice condition.

The complete film reference, with over 450 illustrations in color and blank & white from The Kobal Collection. A fantastic book on the subject of horror films, often considered the definitive reference work devoted to the subject. It contains entries on every movie even remotely connected to the genre (up to 1986), whether it is a 19-century silent, a grade "Z" schlocker, or an "art" film by the likes of Fritz Lang or Ingmar Bergman. Each entry contains a full list of credits and a descriptive review. Hardy writes about horror movies with such enthusiasm and intelligence that you feel you're getting the low down on the genre from a sincere and learned friend.
