Landis, when he delves into the horror genre has illustrated that he can balance scares with some great laughs. I’ve seen a number of horror films since I started this blog, and even a lot before, but this book is bringing me a number of titles that I can’t wait to add to my list. As a youngster, and to this day, I have a very active, perhaps even overactive imagination, and even catching images of The Shining and Poltergeist one afternoon while my younger sister watched them with my mother was enough to freak me out.īut when I started my own film education during my post-secondary education I found my way to a number of films, and have since learned the craft behind the images, and dove into the whole genre happily. This gorgeous, coffee table book, available from DK Canada, penned and compiled by director John Landis (who directed my favourite werewolf movie of all time, An American Werewolf in London, though I was introduced to him through the Thriller video first) has created a love letter to the monsters of the cinema.
