This much fun ought to be illegal! We at VideoHound Enterprises are pleased to present the long-awaited second edition of a classic reference work fondly entitled VideoHound's Cult Flicks & Trash Pics. Here you'll find scads of information on some of the most- and least-loved movies of this or any other generation, organized in what is sure to be a trend-setting alphabetic order by title. More than 1,300 (1,313 to be precise) films are discussed, 250 of them new to this edition, including selections from the wondrous world of anime. We begin with a smashing forward by Bruce Campbell, he of the Evil Dead and other late-night classics. Cult diva and connoisseur of mongrel video Carol Schwartz and video lord Jim Olenski, assisted by a staff of notable critics and scribbling outpatients, deliver the reviews as they see them, and we've been assured they have seen them many, many times. This rip-snorting, brain-tickling new edition includes 75 sidebars that may bring you up close and personal with the underworld of fringe movie making. An amazing array of indexes, including category, cast, director, alternative title, writer, cinematographer, and composer, are sure to lead you somewhere. Coverage of DVD -- which has become an important medium for the delivery of cult entertainment -- is attempted for the first time. And we've included a vast number of startling photographs you'll surely want to cut out and place in your wallet or set in a proper frame for public display.
