FrightFest Guide: Ghost Movies (paperback)

Paperback Edition

FrightFest and FAB Press once again join forces to launch THE FRIGHTFEST GUIDE TO GHOST MOVIES, which has been on sale since FrightFest 2018. Following the success of The FrightFest Guide to Exploitation Movies and The FrightFest Guide to Monster Movies, this is the third in an on-going series of wide appeal books for both the curious spectator and the cult connoisseur.

Like many, award-winning filmmaker Axelle Carolyn (Soulmate, Tales of Halloween – both of which feature spectres) has been obsessed with haunted houses and revenants for as long as she can remember. In this volume, she surveys the last 120 years of the genre and reviews the 200 most memorable titles from across the globe. From timeless classics to recent blockbusters, quirky indies to international sensations, hidden gems to oddities, each of these movies has in some way contributed to the development of the ghost movie as we know it, in all its incarnations and cultural variants.

Lavishly illustrated, and enriched with anecdotes and critical analyses, this guide also features a foreword by FrightFest regular Andy Nyman: the star, co-writer and co-director (with Jeremy Dyson) of acclaimed British chiller Ghost Stories, a love letter to the genre adapted from Nyman’s popular West End stage play.

The official book launch was at FrightFest, Cineworld, Leicester Square (23rd to 27th August 2018). The FrightFest exclusive hardcover costs just £20. The book's international street date was 26 October 2018. Paperback price: £16.99 (UK) $24.95 (US)
