Description: Measures 4-5/32" X 7-1/32", 160 pp, b&w photos, written by Favius Friedman, stated "1st printing. . .February 1974," published by Scholastic Book Services (NY), Scholastic paperback #TK 2408. A handy-dandy little guide to not only some of the best classic horror films of all time, but also some of the best science fiction, fantasy & atomic disaster films as well. Each film is provided with a brief summary, plus production information such as major actors in each film, production company, year of release, etc. In addition, this book also includes some great black & white stills from many of the films listed. Keep in mind, as well, that this book was published in 1974 -- years before JAWS, STAR WARS, POLTERGEIST, HALLOWEEN, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, and other more contemporary films noticeably missing from this volume.
