From the scream of Psycho to the psycho of Scream, The Horror Movie Survival Guide

is your essential source for information on the creatures and monsters that darken your daydreams and stalk your nightmares. Separated into five identifiable categories—aliens, beasts, creations, psychopaths, and the supernatural—each horrific entity is presented with a full description, an overview of unnatural habits, and tips on how to destroy it.

This definitive handbook also includes a directory of horror films (So you know where to find your favorite monsters!), thirty photographs of the baddest of the bad, and a list ranking the worst creatures to grace the silver screen by their number of kills.

So the next time you’re confronted by the supernatural, the extraterrestrial, or the unclassifiable, look in here for all the facts—and run like hell.
