The 101 Scariest Movies Ever Made tackles this with a fresh perspective and an up-to-date list of films. The presentation is well structured and concise. It also contains a foreword by Herschell Gordon Lewis. You will find the titles you would expect, such as Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Suspiria, Halloween, etc. The book does include more recent titles, such as Sinister, The Babadook, and The Conjuring. The earliest film covered is Nosferatu (1922), and the most recent entry is It Follows (2014). There is pretty broad coverage over the decades - it's not all about the eighties. For each film title there are sections including Why it Made the List, Synopsis, Scariest Scene, Memorable Dialogue, Did You Know?. and What the Critics Said. This makes the book highly browsable. The book contains movie posters and stills. For the hardened horror fan you're not going to find anything too groundbreaking. However, this would serve as an excellent entry point to the genre for newcomers. Detailing the scariest scene of the movie is a bit of a spoiler if you haven't seen the film. The Did You Know? and critic quotes were my favourite parts. I like that the critics quotes are from a diverse variety of publications. Of course any book such as this will open up a debate about whether a title should be on the list or not. There are some titles I disagree with, but with 101 films, the coverage is pretty broad. It's a good reference book for a quick read over the titles that make our beloved genre what it is today.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-- Review by Andrew Tadman\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BearManor Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53363565855029,"sku":"jfz1787291650608","price":17.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/0059\/3717\/files\/the-101-scariest-movies-ever-made-softcover-edition-by-curry-hayes-pratt-jr-raus_1.jpg?v=1787291655"},{"product_id":"hollywood-royalty-a-family-in-films-softcover-edition-by-pat-silver-lasky","title":"HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY: A FAMILY IN FILMS (SOFTCOVER EDITION) by Pat Silver-Lasky","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003eISBN 9781629331843\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The history of the movies is the history of America.  Pat Silver-Lasky has woven  personal letters by Hollywood pioneer Jesse L. Lasky to his son, Jesse Jr.  into an insider's view of one of early Hollywood's most influential families. The Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company produced the first feature film in Hollywood, The Squaw Man in 1913. When his final credits rolled on January 13, 1958, Lasky had produced more than 1,000 films, making him in 1927, the eighth wealthiest man in the movie capital. Yet in a few short months he was forced out of the company that no longer bore his name––to rise as an independent producing some of the greatest films of his career at Warner Brothers and RKO.  Lasky’s adventurous personal life was every bit as dynamic and challenging as the stars he fashioned.  Screenwriter Jesse Jr. wrote 48 films, 8 for Cecil B. DeMille. Letters continue through World War II when First Lieutenant, Jesse, Jr. made training films for the U.S. Army Signal Corps, and served as Captain in the South Pacific.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eREVIEWED BY: Michael G.

A rare and unique perspective of a man who shaped the film industry. Intimate details about the Lasky family; Lasky's complex relationship with his wife; with Adolph Zukor, Samuel Goldwyn, Cecil B. DeMille; behind-the-scenes negotiations and development of some of Hollywood's finest classics; and perhaps most interesting, fatherly advice Lasky gives his son about life in general and his son's career in films. The beauty of the book is Silver-Lasky's use of personal letters between Jesse Sr. and Jesse Jr. and her own personal recollections and anecdotes provided her by husband Jesse Jr.  Of wide appeal to fans of classic cinema. Beginnings of Hollywood and the film industry, silent films, transition to sound films, day-to-day development of a film (from adaptation to premier). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eKevin Brownlow FILM HISTORIAN (Who received the first Governors Award from AMPAS for his work in film preservation and chronicling of the cinematic parade) \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMichael Ankerich's quote says it all. I would add: Now that it is no longer possible to interview the last veterans of the silent era, any more than we can talk to survivors of the Civil War, there is one last, precious resource; letters. Pat is offering film historians and enthusiasts an incredibly rare opportunity to enter the lives of one of the supreme moguls of the classic era and his son.
