smcelhenny Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The horror forum has been unusually quiet this year!!! I am currently debating on whether or not to buy Kane Hodder's bio Unmasked but its a very pricy 15 quid for paperback and even more for hardback but the synopsis makes it sound like it will be worth it. Does anyone have any other good horror bio recommendations to read. I have Hollywood Monster by Robert Englund which was a fun read. Does anyone know of any good lon chaney bio's too as the guy was a genius so ahead of his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danvader123@hotmail.co.uk Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 all sound very good and Kane's is a very good read to as well as Roberts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I don't tend to read horror autobiographies, so unfortunately cannot recommend any. I tend to go for books about the films themselves, such as; Crystal Lake Memories, Monsters in the Movies, or Universal Monsters: A Legacy of Horror.

andini Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I bought Robert Englund's book from the pound shop; that's the only one I have though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would most definitely enjoy the books on movies too, is the Universal Horror A Legacy a decent price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch, it must be quite soul sapping to see your work in a pound shop, but still good for us as it means we get them for a great price. I remember seeing one of the wrestler Mick Foley's books in the pound shop the same week as he was doing his stand up in Cardiff. Needless to say I snapped it up and got it signed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would most definitely enjoy the books on movies too, is the Universal Horror A Legacy a decent price? I honestly can't remember. I've had it a few years now. About £20 I think? Just checked Amazon and its on there for £17.88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found some good suprises in the pound shop; The Last Lovecraft; Draniac; Halloween 3; Some guy who kills people; bride of chucky and several other dvds. Over Halloween they had some really good titles. I noticed the one in Stratford I was in a few weeks ago had blurays too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smcelhenny Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 I remember them having the Last Lovecraft, actually quite enjoyed that film. Yeah Poundland always has some gems around Halloween. The Cardiff one had original Texas Chainsaw and Halloween 2 and Puppet Master year before that. I was gutted I didn't pick up Best of the Best when I saw it there though. I won't dwell on that too much though, if that turns out being one of my life regrets then that won't say much about my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Actually, Monsters in the Movies was reduced to £12.99 in The Works recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smcelhenny Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Ah I know which one you're talking about, the John Landis one, man that is one big book. It was sealed in my local works so couldn't flick through it to see what it was like. It's such a big book I don't think my book case can store it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 It's a great book, at a great price. I highly recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smcelhenny Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 I think I'm going to have to go for it come payday. The Works has some great bargains there. I picked up the Arnie auto bio from there this month for the ridiculously cheap price of £3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
