MIND WARP: The Fantastic True Story of Roger Corman's New World Pictures
280 pages; fully-illustrated throughout
Christopher T Koetting
The year is 1969. After making his hugely-successful series of Poe movies with Vincent Price, producer-director Roger Corman set up shop as New World Pictures. For the next thirteen years, Corman was the driving force behind some of the best-known fantasy and exploitation films of the 1970s and early '80s - while his company kicked off the careers of directors like James Cameron, Jonathan Demme and Ron Howard.
Mind Warp chronicles the amazing history of Corman’s ‘New World’ – the films, the facts and the fantastic feats of budget ingenuity! The ultimate guide to drive-in thrills and chills at their best.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Hammer's vampires!
The Hammer Vampire is an in-depth examination of how a tiny film studio on the banks of the Thames changed a genre forever. Hammer may not have invented the vampire film, but its technicians and actors certainly perfected it.
The screen vampire as we know―and love―it today, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Twilight and True Blood, would not have existed in its present form but for a series of sixteen Gothic horror films produced by Hammer between 1958 and 1974. In this lively analysis of the phenomenon, author Bruce Hallenbeck takes you behind the scenes of the Hammer classics to show how the vampire myth was reinvented for the modern audience, taking the archetype that was established by Bram Stoker’s Dracula into a realm that was darker, more graphic and, most importantly, more sexual than had ever been depicted before..

HITCHCOCK'S BLONDE: The REAL Story Behind a Macabre and Secret Obsession..250 pages; fully illustrated / black&white and colour John Hamilton (author of Beasts in the Cellar: The Exploitation Film Career of Tony Tenser)
He was the most celebrated director of his generation, but his murder mysteries and thrillers hid the secrets of his own sexual repression. She was the most beautiful female star of her day, known on-screen for her glacial aloofness and off-screen for her sexual appetites. Together, they made three celebrated movies and Grace Kelly’s influence on Alfred Hitchcock was as profound as it was disturbing.. For the first time in print, their work together is examined in detail, their relationship with each other is explored in depth and Hitchcock’s darkest fantasies are revealed..
