Resumen del Editor
Horror films have simultaneously captivated and terrified audiences for generations, racking up billions of dollars at the box office and infusing our nightmares with unrelenting zombies, chainsaw-wielding madmen, and myriad incarnations of ghosts, ghouls, and the devil himself. Despite evolving modes of storytelling and the fluctuating popularity of other genres, horror endures.
The Horror of It All is a memoir from the front lines of the industry that dissects (and occasionally defends) the hugely popular phenomenon of scary movies. Author Adam Rockoff traces the highs and lows of the horror genre through the lens of his own obsessive fandom, born in the aisles of his local video store and nurtured with a steady diet of cable trash.
From Siskel and Ebert's crusade against slasher films to horror's renaissance in the wake of Scream, Rockoff mines the rich history of the genre, braiding critical analysis with his own firsthand experiences. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Much has been written about the storied New Hollywood of the 1970s, but while Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Francis Ford Coppola were making their first classic movies, a parallel universe of directors gave birth to the modern horror film - aggressive, raw, and utterly original. Based on unprecedented access to the genre's major players, New York Times critic Jason Zinoman's Shock Value delivers the first definitive account of horror's golden age.

Nicolas Cage is many things, but love him, or laugh at him, there's no denying two things: You've seen one of his many films, and you certainly know his name. But who is he, really, and why has his career endured for over 40 years, with more than a hundred films, and birthed a million memes? Age of Cage is a smart, beguiling book about the films of Nicolas Cage and the actor himself, as well as a sharp-eyed examination of the changes that have taken place in Hollywood over the course of his career.

Historia
In a strange world where Rose McGowan was continually on display, stardom soon became a personal nightmare of constant exposure and sexualization. Rose escaped into the world of her mind, something she had done as a child, and into high-profile relationships. Every detail of her personal life became public, and the realities of an inherently sexist industry emerged with every script, role, public appearance, and magazine cover. The Hollywood machine packaged her as a sexualized bombshell, hijacking her image and identity and marketing them.

Comedians Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld never thought anyone would watch their silly little sitcom about a New York comedian sitting around talking to his friends. NBC executives didn't think anyone would watch either, but they bought it anyway, hiding it away in the TV dead zone of summer. But against all odds, viewers began to watch, first a few and then many, until nine years later nearly 40 million Americans were tuning in weekly.

Through roles in cherished films such as Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, Aladdin and Hook, he became the genial face of family comedy. His childlike enthusiasm was infectious, sweeping viewers away. Allied to his lightning-quick improvisation and ability to riff lewdly off any cue thrown at him, Robin was that rare thing - a true comic genius who appealed to adults and children equally. He could also play it straight, and empathetic depth came to him naturally.

To understand how we got here, we have rewind the VHS tape. 90s Bitch tells the real story of women and girls in the 1990s, exploring how they were maligned by the media, vilified by popular culture, and objectified in the marketplace. Trailblazing women like Hillary Clinton, Anita Hill, Marcia Clark, and Roseanne Barr were undermined. Newsmakers like Monica Lewinsky, Tonya Harding, and Lorena Bobbitt were shamed and misunderstood. The advent of the 24-hour news cycle reinforced society's deeply entrenched sexism.

Rising from obscurity to leading roles and Oscar nominations, he has been both celebrated and vilified in the media; survived marriages, divorces, and a string of romances; was named the "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine; and suffered public humiliation over his drug and alcohol issues, including a drug-fueled trip down a "long road of nothingness" that ended in arrest.

Jessup Burke, a lonely, naïve 16-year-old, has grown up without a father in a jobless, indifferent logging town. Out of high school a year early, he now bikes through the woods with his fishing gear, daydreaming of his sweetheart and their secret "home" in an abandoned farmhouse. When Reg, an embittered, paranoid recluse fresh out of jail for growing marijuana, encounters Jessup hitchhiking, he is at first drawn to the boy's easily manipulated naïveté, but the two soon become irreversibly bound.

Historia
From its first publication in 1992, Men, Women, and Chain Saws has offered a groundbreaking perspective on the creativity and influence of horror cinema since the mid-1970s. Investigating the popularity of the low-budget tradition, Carol Clover looks in particular at slasher, occult, and rape-revenge films. Although such movies have been traditionally understood as offering only sadistic pleasures to their mostly male audiences, Clover demonstrates that they align spectators not with the male tormentor, but with the females tormented.

Izzie Lefevre was the newest investigator for the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit when she first came to Recondito, a coastal city that's been shrouded in mystery and legend for centuries. Local law enforcement had requested the Bureau's assistance in hunting a sword-wielding serial killer who'd left a dozen mutilated bodies in his wake. Patrick Tevake was a local homicide detective assigned to the taskforce, and together he and Izzie managed to track down and stop the killer before he claimed another victim.

Historia
Jack Dana is a former marine infantry officer and Force Recon platoon leader. He is also the author of three successful books. It may seem odd that someone like Jack - honor graduate of the corps' toughest combat schools - should become a novelist. But there's the other side of Jack: the Yale graduate, the only child of a Harvard philosophy professor father and a flutist mother who played with a Boston-based chamber orchestra. As Jack would say, "The truth is that to everything there is a season."

Suffer the Children presents a terrifying tale of apocalyptic fiction, as listeners are introduced to Herod's Syndrome, a devastating illness that suddenly and swiftly kills all young children across the globe. Soon, they return from the grave, and ask for blood. And with blood, they stop being dead. They continue to remain the children they once were, but only for a short time, as they need more blood to live. The average human body holds 10 pints of blood, so the inevitable question for parents everywhere becomes: How far would you go to bring your child back?

Historia
The landscape that the Brat Pack memorialized is rich with cultural themes and significance, and has influenced an entire generation who still believe that life always turns out like an '80s movie. You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried takes us back to that era, through Susannah Gora's interviews with key players such as Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, and John Cusack, and mines all the material from the movies to the music to the way the films were made to show how they helped shape our visions for romance, friendship, society, and success.

Rambling, with occasional insights
I thought it was pretty good and comprehensive, but it lacked a good sense of organization. The author, who to his credit often admitted to it, digressed often and went off on random tangents. It was sometimes distracting. Still, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.

Overall Not Bad
Overall not a bad book Like a lot of these styles of writings it's a lot of the author's opinion about the subject, horror in this case.

The Exact Book You're Looking for Slasher Fans
Rockoff accomplishes exactly what it is like to be a slasher/horror movie fan. Several points must be made.
1) This is a great job of reading and being practically invisible by RC Bray. I didn't notice one mispronunciation and the timing/pace of the reading was pitch perfect. This is why you hire a pro to do the voice acting.
2) If you are a horror fan at all, there will be at least 2-3 opinions in the book that you do not agree with. This is a wonderful thing, I think Adam is 100% wrong about Scream, and his notion that Friday the 13th compares to Halloween is laughable to me, and that's kind of the point. This is a mainstream book that you can argue with, disagree with and still enjoy because he obviously loves the movies as much as we do. It's a book that treats the genre as well as major American sports or like academics with integrity treat literature. Debate is welcome and encouraged.
3) If you are not a hard core horror fan, you will find 3-4 movies you will enjoy that you did not know.
4) The lack of any political insertion into the text of any of his opinions on the movies is so refreshing in 2022, I'd love to give it an extra star just for that. Adam talks about the movies, not how they made him reflect on his values/privilege/gender identity. Evaluating the movies on their own merits and content rather than bringing his own subtext or agenda to them is something I never thought would be noble or rare, but here we are.
Audible, put Adam's Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Movie on here. And there are dozens of similar books on this subject that we would all love to listen to on Audible.

A whole lot of fun for horror diehards!
Rockoff is well informed, amusing and interesting, even when he's wrong about Halloween or pumping up some goofy misbegotten piece of horror cinema from the early eighties. I like the way he looks at different horror films in unusual ways, and seeing where he starts his analysis to when his intended point reaches full circle is a great amount of fun. He is definitely one of us, a horror fan through and through, and his love and passion for his favorite horror movies comes through in every stage of the book, culminating in a brilliant final chapter that will leave you feeling happy to be a horror fan yourself.
RC Bray reads this brilliantly, with emphasis in all the right places. All in all, this is just a super book. I listened to it while walking my dog over a series of a couple weeks. :)

Great Listen for Horror Fans
I loved this book. The narration is up there with the best I've heard (R. C. Bray also narrated The Martian, the man has perfect comedic timing). What I loved about this book, and what may turn a small number of listeners off, is the fact that this book is a look at horror from a single point of view. It's not a text book, It's a memoir concerning a horror fan's experiences with the movies that he loves and how they shaped his life. Not only did I find the book fascinating and entertaining, it's one of the funniest I've heard.

Memory Lane
If you grew up begging mom to rent horror VHS movies, this is a nice trip down memory lane. Definitely some trivia that was new to me, but for the most part, just nice to listen to someone reminisce about their nearly identical childhood to mine. The only time I got bored was when one chapter goes off the rails into what the government was doing in response to Heavy Metal. Felt like it could've been done with a paragraph. Otherwise enjoyable.

Great book, if you were a teen in the 80's
I did really enjoy this book. As someone who was a tween during slasher golden age, I could really relate to the stories in this book. I have seen most of the films, or will now see them. I enjoyed reliving that part of my life and enjoyed listening to someone else talk about horror.
On the downside, he does sometimes go off subject. For instance, there is a whole chapter about the PMRC and the congress hearing regarding music censorship. And sometimes he can be a little pretentious.
Overall, if you love horror movies, especially ones made in the 80's, you will enjoy this book.

this is a fun read
I loved this book. That said I don't know if would be a good listen for someone who doesn't know horror.
I didn't always agree with the author, but his points were made well and really we don't all have to agree about any creative endeavor.

An outstanding book
I read a lot these days and it is rare that I desperately dont want a book to end as I near its conclusion. I really, really didn't want this book to end. If you are at all interested in the horror genre, try out this outspoken, funny, informative book.
