Fangoria's 101 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen: A Celebration of the World's Most Unheralded Fright Flicks

Adam Lukeman, Fangoria Magazine. Three Rivers Press (CA), $13.95 (288pp) ISBN 978-1-4000-4749-9

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.
