Surfing the internet in search of interesting movie related items from the 1970s and 1980s I found about these two releases. Still in print with a soft cover, but expensive. So I looked for a second hand copy and found these two first edition hardback covers on ebay for a price just under the new paperback versions.
Horror Films of the 1970's is 662 pages filled with information about 200 horror movies from that time. The volume about the 1980's is 829 pages thick and has info on 325 horror movies.
There is also a volume about the 1990's, but that for me is less interesting.
Nowadays you can find everything on the internet, but to have an encyclopedia on horror in your hands while listening to scores on wax does feel rather special.
I thought I had watched a lot of horror during the 1990s from the decades before that (I was born in 1980), but I am mistaken. Actually I knew that already since I visit STBC. A lot of scores have come out from movies I have never seen. But I am trying to catch up.
Below some pics to give you an idea about the contents. A lot of words and few images.
