What's a horror movie fan and HalloweenAddict to read the month of October when they're not lounging in a pile of leaves, carving a jack o'lantern or curled around a hot cider? Look no further than "How to Survive a Horror Movie."
The book has a Scream-like self awareness, but has its severed tongue firmly planted in cheek. With such chapter titles as "What To Do If You Did Something Last Summer," "How To Stay Awake for a Week," and "What to Do if Your Corn Has Children In It" the author dissects the devices of the genre with a machete.
Put simply: this book is fun. It's almost as if those ironic conversations with your horror-buff friends were recorded and transcribed. Throw in gruesome illustrations by Nathan Fox, quotes from legendary horror films and a foreword by horror maven Wes Craven himself and this little terror-tome is well-worth the 10 bucks.

The Bible saved my soul.
The Dead Kennedys saved my eardrums.
This book saved my life.
Perfectsnazzysexycool for anyone who digs horror,
hates horror, or actually does not know what horror is.
One of my comrades and I are in bitter
debate about "The Zombie Survival Guide."
I love it. He hates it.
We BOTH love this book, though.
Get it before it is too late.

This book may save your life! Okay, maybe not, but it'll make you laugh the skeleton right out of your skin. My girlfriends and I stumbled upon this while Halloween shopping, and just had to pick it up. It's absolutely hysterical. We stayed up the whole night passing this back and forth. My Goth boyfriend, who hardly ever smiles, came home from the garage and almost (I SWEAR) laughed his nose ring out. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK MORE!!!!

I picked this up after watching some of the "Dodge The Kills" shorts online. They're funny, but the book is HYSTERICAL. Even better than The Zombie Survival Guide. Something made me LMAO on almost every page (Wes Craven's "apology" at the beginning is priceless). I'm probably biased 'cause I'm a horror fan, but I think this and Stephen Colbert's book are the two funniest reads of the year.

I don't like anything. Despite my best efforts to the contrary, all of my interactions with consumer goods almost invariably end in disappointment. In fact, in all my time here on Amazon, I've only ever written two reviews: one for my Logitech Harmony Remote (which is, and will always be, glorious) and this one, for the most surprisingly funny book of the year.
In addition to not liking anything, I also don't typically buy anything on a whim. But while waiting in an abnormally long line at Barnes & Noble, I picked up "How to Survive a Horror Movie" for no other reason than I couldn't bring myself to look at "Lord of the Rings" bookmarks any longer.
In addition to not liking anything and not buying anything on a whim, I also almost never laugh out loud at things (books, movies) intended to make me laugh. But to my great surprise, this book is funny... I mean really, really funny. I found myself chuckling at the "How To Know You're In a Horror Movie" bit, and by the time I reached the cash register I actually let slip a single, solitary guffaw.
I spent a good hour that night reading passages aloud to my wife, who shared in the silly joy of the thing. I'm in publishing and my wife's in casting, and we like to think of ourselves as pretty up on the whole comedy scene. Thus, we kept asking ourselves: "Who the hell is this guy?" Grahame-Smith, unless he's using a pseudonym, seems to have come out of nowhere. Barring a catastrophic head wound or some such, I think he's here to stay.
Take it from the guy who only likes two things in the world: This book is worth having.
