October Horror: Musings on Horror Movies

by C. Patrick Neagle

Overview

If you have a love for horror movies--for turning off the lights and curling up on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn and a cozy blanket and something frightening on the TV--then you'll want to read "October Horror". The author loves horror movies, too, and spent at least 8,000 words writing about his favorites (and his least favorites). There's humor, and maybe even some insights...maybe.

In six chapters, the author examines the sub-genres of horror that seem to be prevalent now, including Found Footage horror movies, Critter-centric horror movies, and Haunted House horror movies.

He also has a few thoughts (some of them scary) on remakes.
