Being a horror book collector somewhat long in the tooth I'm always pleasantly surprised when a book new to me crawls out of the shadows!
On a trip to the beautiful Yorkshire coast this week I came across such a one, a softback reference book called Scream Gems.
By Mark Baraket and dated 1977 its quite a vintage thing and an interesting read. I've only just started going through it but its already talked about my favourite horror film format, the Seventies portmanteaus like Tales from the Crypt and Vault of Horror, which weren't that old when this was written.
Does anyone else collect horror film books or like those classic horror portmanteau films by Amicus and the like?
Can you name the film on the cover?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little find. I knew you'd trawl in some treasure on your coastal trip, Woodsy :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Tony. Those treasures are out there. We just need to reel them in!
