Demasiadas imagenes no originales, decepciona un poco.
No es un mal libro, pero para quien desea ver y disfrutar de imagenes y graficos originales de epoca esto se ve demeritado por la apabullante cantidad y gigantescas ilustraciones nuevas elboradas especificamente para la publicacion presentadas casi siempre a pagina o doble pagina completa, y no es que sean malas ilustraciones, pero definitivamente no tienen el sabor e interes que ilustraciones originales de epoca, las cuales se ven reducidas a simples botoncitos infimos sin presencia ni tamaño adecuado. Esto es muy decepcionante por lo que se tiene que ver el libro con lupa.

I bought this as a bday gift for a girl I dated who loves horror. I seem to remember she liked it and I flipped through it and it was cool. This was two years ago. I've learned since that if they ever do another edition, she deserves her own chapter.

Wow, this will knock your socks off.
Absolutely fabulous reflection of genre movies through the decades with each decade covered by a different, excellent and knowledgeable author. Each page of art is a new revelation of imagination with intense, vibrant color. The book is printed on terrific glossy paper and includes both original movie posters as well as new art by younger (and some not so young), extremely talented artists providing their own take on the movies themselves. Some of the original posters have been used in other books of this type, but there is plenty of other art work that I was not familiar with. Not to be missed. To me, the price of this book is a bargain as well. Terrific!
