Fangoria's 101 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen: A Celebration of the World's Most Unheralded Fright Flicks
Spurred on by the popularity of such recent films as The Sixth Sense, Hannibal and Signs, Lukeman and his colleagues at the horror magazine Fangoria present a rousing rundown of lesser-known terror flicks. Some of the movies they include were initially flops; some are foreign films, others never even appeared on the big screen. Each entry takes up two or three pages, listing the film's category (e.g., "Killers/Slashers," "Supernatural/Hauntings" or "Monsters") and its lead actors and characters, along with a description of the story and a bit of "terror trivia." The editors mix old and new, ranging from 1964's Two Thousand Maniacs!, which was "inspired by, of all things, the Broadway musical Brigadoon," to 2001's Session 9, a psychological thriller that was one of the first features to be shot on high-definition 24-frame video, the same process George Lucas used to shoot Star Wars: Episode II-Attack of the Clones.Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
