4.0
This gorgeous book has two parts, one more enjoyable than the other - the first 1/3, the team puts together themes and ideas that have scared us for generations, and they use these to weave the tale of monsters and mayhem from the beginning of film. The writing is witty and insightful and entertaining throughout. The rest of the book is a list of 100 best horror movies, but the writing is lackluster, mostly short, and full of more puns than I was interested in reading. But the first 1/3 and the pictures is worth the price alone.
