Birmingham Evening Mail (England) December 3, 2005 | PAUL CASTLES THE ROUGH GUIDE TO HORROR MOVIES: Movie guides have a nasty habit of being either insufferably frank – or just hot air.
This book avoids both pitfalls with a wealth of meticulously researched detail which is informative as well as entertaining. Horror is a film genre which enthrals successive generations – with powerful story-telling overcoming the technical limitations of any cinematic era. Those wishing to learn more about horror icons like Boris Karloff will be more than satisfied. go to website horror movies 2010
Equally, the more off-beat offerings from countries like Mexico, Spain, Australia and Japan are also incorporated. The episodic format of the bookmakes it easy to dip in and out of with links to websites.
GARY LONGDEN n POINTLESS – A SEASON WITHBRITAIN’ S WORST FOOTBALL TEAM: If Villa and Blues fans think they have it tough then they should read Pointless.
Jeff Connor spent a year with Britain’s worst football team, East Stirlingshire FC.

Having agreed to make a fairly modest donation, Connor was granted the freedom of the club with access to the changing rooms on match day, even taking a seat in the dug-out.
