"Adam Rockoff is the ultimate authority on horror film andfandom, and no one captures the full dimensions of the genre with greater wit, humor, nostalgia and charm. "The Horror of it All" is bloodybrilliant!"--Adrienne King, star of "Friday the 13th"
"Adam Rockoff's "The Horror of It All" may well have been titled "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the Horror Industry But Were Too Afraid To Ask." It's a no bullshit look at the culture of horror and the films that define it, from a professional who hasn't lost his ability to be a fan. Written with the know-how of an academic and the crackerjack honesty of bathroom graffiti, "The Horror of It All" will satiate horror hounds and film buffs alike."--Rodrigo Gudino, RUE MORGUE"

Adam Rockoff is the screenwriter of Wicked Lake, a film so depraved it caused Ron Jeremy to storm out of the theater in anger. However, his 2010 adaptation of the classic exploitation film, I Spit on Your Grave, received nearly unanimous praise from horror critics. His first book, Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film, 1978-1986, a critical examination of the slasher genre, was made into a documentary which premiered on STARZ. When he s not getting his hands bloody, Rockoff runs the television production company, FlashRock Films.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Horror films have simultaneously captivated and terrified audiences for generations, racking up millions of dollars at the box office and infusing our nightmares with chainsaws, goblins, and blood-spattered machetes. Todays hottest television shows feature classic horror elements, from marauding zombies and sexy vampires to myriad incarnations of the devil himself. Yet the horror genre and its controversial offshoots continue to occupy a nebulous space in our critical dialogue. The Horror of It All is a memoir from the front lines of the horror industry that dissects the massively popular phenomenon of scary movies. Author Adam Rockoff traces the highs and lows of the genre through the lens of his own obsessive fandom, which began in the horror aisles of his childhood video store and continued with a steady diet of cable trash. From the convergence of horror and heavy metal, to Siskel and Eberts crusade against the slasher flick, to the legacy of the Scream franchise, and the behind-the-scenes work of horror directors and make-up artists, Rockoff mines the rich history of the genre, braiding critical analysis with his own firsthand experiences as a horror writer and producer. Filled with mordant wit and sharp insight, The Horror of It All explains why horror films not only endure, but continue to prosper. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Pop culture history meets blood-soaked memoir as Adam Rockoff recalls a life spent watching blockbuster slasher films, cult classics and everything in between. This item is printed on demand.
