McFarland Halloween Sale
We all know that McFarland puts out some amazing books, but they do tend to be on the pricy side. But during the month of October, they are having a 25% off sale on all their horror titles! I just pre-ordered Bryan Senn’s MASSIVE new book, Mummy Movies, which normally retails for $75, but with this sale, I got close to $20 off that price! So, if you’re looking to add a few more titles to your own library, now is your chance to pick up some great titles and save a little money as well.
The code is simple . . . just add in HALLOWEEN2023 in the promo code during check out and see the savings! Head over to McFarland’s site HERE to see all the amazing titles you can find. May I suggest the latest from Christopher Wayne Curry, The Incredibly Strange Features of Ray Dennis Steckler, where you can save $10. Or any number of titles from Tom Weaver, Gregory William Mank, Bryan Senn, or any other number of titles. Just do a McFarland search on my site to see all of their books that I’ve reviewed over the years if you’re not sure which one(s) to get!
Mummy Movies Book!
Our good friend Bryan Senn has done something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. He has sat down and not only watched a ton of mummy movies, but even did the research and wrote about them for this new book! If you are sitting there thinking, “well that doesn’t sound that bad” then you haven’t experienced some of lesser-known mummy titles out there. Trust me, they can get pretty bad. Years ago, I tried to turn down doing a retrospective on this sub-genre for HorrorHound because I knew the quality of the ones that I had seen, let alone the ones I’d avoided. I will say though that there still are some damn good mummy films out there that are more than worth your time. But kudos to Senn for doing all of that hard work so we don’t have to, but now can just read about them.
Of course, even though I know there is a lot of bad mummy movies out there . . . yes, I still will be picking up this book for the library.

Need More Horror Books?
Of course you do. What a silly question. Here are a few that have recently come out, or will be coming out this year that you might want to add to your library.
Puppet Master Complete: A Franchise History by Nat Brehmer
For better or for worse, Full Moon’s Puppet Master series is one of the longest running straight-to-video horror series since the first one came out in 1989. Author Brehmer covers all 14 films (to date, at least!), with an in-depth exploration into each of them, including the made-for-TV crossovers, and theatrical reboots. He also covers the action figures, comic books, and the other merchandise that has been coming over the last 30+ years. It features new interviews with the people behind the franchise, as well as dozens of behind-the-scenes photos. If you’re a fan of the series, you are probably going to need this one!
This is being published by McFarland with a price tag of $39.95. No exact release date yet.
