First sentence: Since the advent of film, film-makers have employed grisly and horrific images to depict the darker side of man.
Description: "Film fans who secretly hoped The Remains of the Day was a belated sequel to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, unabashed lovers of the macabre and of the phantasmagoric, and curious researchers interested in the filmic phenomenon of blood for blood's sake will all find their reward in this gore-filled tome.".

"From At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul Away to Zombie 2: The Dead Are Among Us, this reference provides an exhaustive study of the splatter films of the 1960s and 1970s. A history of the genre's development precedes the main meat of the book, a substantial filmography that oozes detail. Each entry has extensive credits, alternate names and foreign releases, and information on video and soundtrack availability, film novelization, and reviews."--BOOK JACKET.
