Creature Features: The Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Movie Guide





A new updated edition of the ultimate midnight movie guide...

With smash-hit films like The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sense, and The Phantom Menace breaking Hollywood records, it's obvious that sci-fi, fantasy and horror films are back--and bigger than ever before.

Updated to include the most recent movie mega-hits, Creature Features has it all--the shockers, schlockers, blockbusters, bombs, cult faves, rare gems, classics, groundbreakers, gorefests, space operas, sorcery, Euro-splatter, and everything in between. From features, made-for-televsion, and straight-to-video, here are all the films you love and hate; the films you forgot about and never knew existed. Horror and science fiction fans will find films that matter and films that splatter in one critical and humorous guide.

Featuring
Thousands of capsulized reviews
A five-star rating system
Hundreds of obscure and rare titles
Video distribution informaton (including mail order)
Cross-references to secondary titles, sequels and tricky retitlings
And more.

"I keep two reference works by my bed at all times. One is Eric Weber's How to Pick Up Girls. The other is John Stanley's Creature Features Movie Guide. Never has so much worthless information been gathered together in one place. I'm in awe of the man." --Joe Bob Briggs

"A Must." --Leonard Maltin

"The Leonard Maltin of horror." --FangoriaI know this is a good movie guide because it took up residence next to my remote control and gets consulted on a near-nightly basis. John Stanley, who inherited Bob Wilkins's famous Bay Area show called "Creature Features," does a bang-up job of reviewing thousands of movies through the end of '96 that fall in a general grab-bag category of being spooky or fantastic. This is the fifth edition of Stanley's guide and the first to come out in a handy mass-market size. As Joe Bob Briggs puts it, "I keep this reference work by my bed at all times. Never has so much worthless information been gathered together in one place. I'm in awe of the man."
