"John Kenneth Muir is back! This time, Muir surveys 300 films from the 1980s. From backwards psychos (Just Before Dawn) and yuppie-baiting giant rats (Of Unknown Origin), to horror franchises like Friday the 13th and Hellraiser, Muir is our informative guide through 10 macabre years of silver screen terrors"--Provided by publisher.

John Kenneth Muir is back! His Horror Films of the 1970s was named an Outstanding Reference Book by the American Library Association, and likewise a Booklist Editors' Choice. This time, Muir surveys 300 films from the 1980s. From backwards psychos (Just Before Dawn) and yuppie-baiting giant rats (Of Unknown Origin), to horror franchises like Friday the 13th and Hellraiser, as well as nearly forgotten obscurities such as The Children and The Boogens, Muir is our informative guide through 10 macabre years of silver screen terrors. Muir introduces the scope of the decade's horrors, and offers a history drawing parallels between current events and the nightmares unfolding on cinema screens. Each of the 300 films is discussed with detailed credits, a brief synopsis, a critical commentary, and where applicable, notes on the film's legacy beyond the 80s. Also included is the author's ranking of the 15 best horror films of the 80s.

Recenzijas

writing is clear, with a personal but expert tone...useful information and enjoyable commentary...recommendedBooklist; fans of the horror genre are sure to find something to scream about. Muir again plunges into the dark...appropriate to the so-called era of greed, he has this time added more of everything: films, background, appendices, and critical analyses...ample, witty, well-versed entries...highly recommendedLibrary Journal; have no fear. Muir reveals all...readable and entertaining...this tremendous tome of terror is the quintessential concordance to the films of the dead teenager decade...Muir opts for comprehensiveness...Muirs genius lies in his giving context to the films. Muir has carved out a niche for himself with this kind of reference work...recommendedChoice; comprehensive...insightfulC&RL News; one of the finest horror reference books Ive ever readCity Slab; he did it again...Muir is back and better than everNVF Magazine; readers will be pleased by the attention to detail that is lavished on each of the 325 films included...a far more thorough approach to the material and his dedication creates a definitive reference book...recommendHorrortalk.com.
