The Overlook Film Encyclopedia: Horror
Edited by Phil Hardy
Published by The Overlook Press, 1994. 496 pages.
This was originally published in 1986 under the title of Encyclopedia of Horror; then revised and expanded in 1994, under the title this title. Hardy provided horror fans with a literal historical tome of reviews of films from all over the world, starting with the silent movie years through to the modern era. This book was the first one that we came across that not had only a review of the film, but also listed useful information such as alternate titles (which came in quite useful with foreign films, considering all the different titles they were being released under), country of origin, cast, crew, and running times (although those times are still debated to this day and caused grief for many collectors).
