This is an excellent title that I think could blossom into an even better series.

Now I am aware that I am not the intended audience for this book as I adore horror (despite almost hitting the ceiling at every jump scare even when I see it coming), this is the perfect gateway into the genre. Not only does it fulfill the promise of giving you enough information without having to live through the 'horror', but it could well serve as a way to de-sensitize the reader enough to perhaps even start watching some of these films for themselves.

I understand there's a limitation of what films and eras of the genre that could be included, but there was a good range despite missing what I would have considered a few genre staples. It's one of those things that you can never please everyone with, but Horror for Weenies is such an excellent start, I look forward to a book 2 for even more scares!

A brilliant book for any horror fan not just the weenies. I love the layout of this book, how each film is separated into the what happens, why you should/shouldn’t watch, what happens (v spoiler-full), and what impact it has had since. This is then followed by reading recommendations which has help me double my TBR alongside my film watchlist.

The tongue in cheek style of writing really compliments the book and each entry is well researched and written about with love.

5/5 recommend
