Horrors: From Screen to Scream

by Ed Naha

Within these covers is a treasury of fright and fantasy -- all the great (and not-so-great) films that terrified and delighted generations of moviegoers. Spanning the years from Edison's 1919 on-reel version of FRANKENSTEIN right up to the present, HORRORS is a comprehensive, thoroughly engrossing source-book of information on horror/fantasy films and the people who made them. Delightfully written, lavishly illustrated with hundreds of stills, this is a book not only for connoisseurs of the genre, but for anyone who wants to recapture the ambiance and excitement of all those rainy Saturday afternoons -- when entertainment was only a scream away.

[Michael Ritchie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my third time reading this book of movie reviews from cover to cover. I got it as a Christmas present when I was in college in 1975 and though a horror movie fan, probably had seen only a fraction of the nearly 1000 films covered here. Still, I loved reading his concise summaries and reviews, sometimes just a couple of sentences, sometimes half-a-page. This time around, I realize I've seen the bulk of these movies now so I got even more out of the book than ever. It's out of print but it's worth tracking tracking down.

I bought this book in 1974. I've spent many a night over the years pouring over it's pages of seemingly endless information and photographs on horror and science fiction films set in alphabetical order. It is an encyclopedia of information but done with great humor. for any horror and sci fi fan this book is an absolute treasure!
