See these outrageous films through the eyes of Michael Weldon, the world's leading authority on Psychotronic films! Arranged from A to Z! Crammed with rare illustrations! Featuring cast, crew, and characters! Uniquely eccentric reviews of over 3,000 movies! Warning: The author of this book has been watching these movies obsessively since the age of 6.

I'm a sucker for these type of books, anxious to see what I've missed and what other people might say about them. When watching these movies, I keep in mind that the filmmakers are invariably trying to do the best they can with practically no budget, and often succeed far beyond what the budget deserves. Even when they use a bubble machine for an other-worldly background effect or bisected ping pong balls for alien eyes. Long a subscriber to Weldon's late, lamented Psychotronic Video Magazine, I love his thorough capsule coverage for a large field of low-budget exploitation films. Every time you sit down with this book, you'll find yourself instantly wrapped up for at least a half hour in mini reviews and photo captions. Well-illustrated. Highly recommended for B-movie fans.

The best guide to weird movies, horror and otherwise, ever published. There is a sequel that covers additional films, but it lacks the depth of this volume. Great pictures as well. ( )

Excellent capsule reviews covering a wide variety of genre films, mostly horror and sf but also some noir and cult films as well. The second volume covers mostly post-1983 films but also includes lots of older ones the first one didn't cover. They don't repeat, so both are essential. ( )

This is just an awesome book if you love movies in general. ( )

To: The Beachcliff, The Detroit (still there!), The Embassy, The Granada, The Hilliard, The Hippodrome, The Homestead, The Madison, The Roxy, The Standard, and all the other great American movie theaters that are or soon will be parking lots, discos, and gutted firetraps.

I wouldn't ruin the end of a good movie--it was her brother! He's the deejay at the prom! He kills people during 12-inch versions of disco songs! Jamie dances like John Travolta! A head gets cut off and rolls on the dance floor!
With Faye Dunaway (magazine editor), William Holden (building developer), Fred Astaire (con man), Richard Chamberlain (it's all his fault), Susan Blakely (his wife), Jennifer Jones (art dealer), Robert Vaughn (senator), Robert Wagner (P.R. man), and O.J. Simpson (token).
Anyone who has lived in a once-thriving Northeastern city will be familiar with the decayed industrial surroundings. Others will identify with the completely alienated, sexually retarded characters. Many viewers (usually female) walk out of the theater in disgust. Many others watch it faithfully every week at midnight showings. You probably wouldn't feel comfortable alone in a room with one of the frequent viewers.
