ART! TRASH! TERROR!

From filmmaker, former Fangoria editor-in-chief, and Corman/Poe author Chris Alexander comes ART! TRASH! TERROR! Adventures in Strange Cinema, a treasure trove of in-depth essays and edifying interviews that celebrate some of the most eccentric and unforgettable movies in cult cinema history. From recognised classics (George A. Romero''s Dawn Of The Dead , David Lynch''s The Elephant Man) to misunderstood masterpieces (Michael Mann''s The Keep , Boris Sagal''s The Omega Man) to unfairly maligned curios (Kostas Karagiannis'' Land Of The Minotaur, Brett Leonard''s Hideaway), the author takes an alternately serious and playful but always personal look at several strains of international horror, dark fantasy, and exploitation film - motion pictures that transform, transgress, challenge, infuriate, shock, and entertain. Connecting these passionate and critical essays are insightful interviews with revered talents, such as John Waters (writer/director, Cecil B. Demented), Michael Winner (director, The Sentinel), Nicolas Cage (actor, Vampire''s Kiss), Gene Simmons (co-founder/bassist, KISS), William Crain (director, Blacula), William Lustig (director, Maniac), Werner Herzog (director, Nosferatu: Phantom Der Nacht) and many more, as well as witty, heartfelt memoirs charming the author''s oddball experiences on the fringes of Hollywood and beyond. Illustrated with more than 200 startling photographs.
