Puppet Master Complete
This book is a comprehensive history of the most successful straight-to-video horror franchise of all time: Puppet Master. It provides an in-depth exploration of all 14 films to date--including a made-for-TV crossover and a theatrical reboot--and the action figures, comics, and other merchandise that have helped to keep the brand alive for the past 30 years. Puppet Master was the first film for independent producer extraordinaire Charles Band's Full Moon Entertainment, launching a franchise and a micro-budget studio that have both continued to this day. What led to the film's success? How did a little movie about killer puppets, designed to cater to the then-booming video market, wind up surviving video stores themselves? How did a series that had never even had a theatrical entry wind up with an unusually successful toy series? All of these questions are answered within these pages. Featuring new interviews with some of the biggest creative minds behind the franchise, as well as dozens of behind-the-scenes photos, this book is the ultimate guide to horror's most murderous marionettes.

Piccola enciclopedia dei replicanti
Da The Abyss a Wargames, da Aliens – Scontro finale a Terminator, passando (in disordine sparso) per E.T. – L’extraterrestre, Corto circuito, Gremlins, Robocop, Blade Runner, l’intero ciclo di Ritorno al futuro, i nuovi capitoli delle saghe di Guerre stellari (non ancora Star Wars) e Star Trek, la grande fantascienza americana degli anni Ottanta superò le fantasie distopiche del decennio precedente per concentrarsi sulla spettacolarità, sul fascino dell’avventura, su forme di incubo più psicologiche ed esistenziali che sociali. È una fantascienza post-guerra fredda ma pre-muro di Berlino, in cui l’immaginario hollywoodiano scatena l’entusiasmo imperialista e le fobie più inconfessate. Il nemico non è più solo l’alieno, il diverso, l’altro da sé, ma risiede anche nelle mutazioni genetiche e fisiologiche di un’umanità posta di fronte a un futuro ignoto. Pallotta e Pergolari navigano nel genere in lungo e in largo, affidando la rotta alle coordinate strutturali di un dizionario. Un’opera nello stesso tempo rigorosa e divertente, alla scoperta di un modo di fare cinema che si è imposto nel tempo e ancora oggi indirizza la produzione internazionale.
A Scary Little Christmas
Controversial yet beloved among audiences, Christmas-themed horror movies emerged in the early 1970s and gained a notorious reputation with Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984), depicting Santa as an ax-wielding maniac. Some parents and conservative groups condemned the film, while others embraced the portrayal of Yuletide as a backdrop for fear and dread. Drawing on interviews with directors, producers, special effects artists, photographers and actors, this book celebrates the sordid, colorful history of the Christmas horror subgenre. Psycho Santa films such as Christmas Evil (1980) and 3615 code Pere Noel (1989) are examined, along with "Yule-Die" slashers like The Dorm that Dripped Blood (1982), Black Christmas (1974) and Silent Night, Bloody Night (1972). Commercial successes like Gremlins (1984) and Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010) are covered, as well as more recent releases such as Better Watch Out (2016), Red Christmas (2016) and Deathcember (2019). Rare photographs, promotional materials and an annotated filmography are provided.
Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Film Sequels, Series, and Remakes
Science fiction, fantasy and horror films have spawned more sequels than any other film genre. While the perhaps overly familiar Dracula and Frankenstein have inspired dozens of additional films, such movies as Quatermass and The Omen have also produced several sequels. Over 400 horror, science fiction and fantasy films are analyzed in this comprehensive reference to the genre s sequels, series and remakes. Filmographies are given for each film, providing year of release, studio, running time, cast and credits. This is followed by a plot synopsis, reviews of the work, and a critical analysis."
