The Funniest Tongue in Cheek Survival Guide Out There!

Excellent parody of those military, natural disaster, camping survival guide books that by the end of it has you ready to survive when it suddenly dawns on you - hey this situation looks like I'm in a horror movie! Oh no what do I do? If you're not sure you are in fact actually in this situation a handy chapter at the front will allow you to be sure.

Various chapters that follow are Slasher Survival School, where you'll learn about the five types of slashers and how to defeat them. What to do if you did something last summer, how to survive a night babysitting and much more. Inanimate Evil - The Manmade Instruments of Death teaches readers how to survive a haunted house, an evil vehicle, killer doll and importantly how to tell if an object is indeed evil. Crypt-Ography-Ghosts, Zombies and the Reanimated basically teaches you how to survive against various undead foe. Plus this chapter makes a good point against those killing zombies not really being "big man" type heroes, pointing out how slow these things move, their minimum brain capacity meaning you could just run away instead of stupidly barricading an isolated house and so forth.

Fangs of Fury - Aliens and Beasts tackles space set movies, aliens, as well as animals back here on earth. Chapter 666 The Satanic Versus-Curses Demons and The Devil Himself teaches those rural readers amongst us what to do if your cornfield is infested with children. For everyone how to perform an exorcism, what to do if you've only got 7 days to live and the biggest task of them all, how to defeat Satan, where girls, you'll learn the male population, well if you come across Satan you'll be wishing you were a man.

If humorous human peril survival guides against what we hope we will only ever come across in the movies, is your type of thing, also get Max Brook's The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead as well as Daniel H Wilson's How To Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion.

The Superman Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Saving the Day and The Action Hero's Handbook: are also good tongue in cheek entertainment themed survival guides. Whilst not survival guides How to Rule the World: A Handbook for the Aspiring Dictator and Hardly Working: The Overachieving Underperformer's Guide to Doing as Little as Possible in the Office are also good and written in the same sort of tongue in cheek style.

The perfect gift book

As the senior reporter and reviewer for horror dot com, I have seen *a lot* of genre spoofs in my time; but I must say, this book is not only a must-have keeper for any horror fan's library, it's a great gift for friends. I bought a dozen copies. Seriously. (And because of that, I'm doubly-doomed -- wait till you read the part about "how you got this book" ... it's hysterical!) In addition to being just a plain funny (and nicely illustrated) book, the foreword by Wes Craven is worth the price alone.

AWESOME

This book is hilarious and so well-written. I picked it up in a theater gift shop while waiting for friends, and ended up buying it to give to someone who loves horror movies. But I had to read it myself before passing it on. It's great - so funny.

Comical & Entertaining

I have to hand it to the author, he certainly knows his horror movies. This book was fun to read; very entertaining and brought back a lot of memories about many of the horror movies I'd seen. If you want some light, funny, laugh out loud reading, this is a great book to read. I'm still boggled by the author's knowledge! Fun read!

A Great Fun Read I couldnt Stop Reading it

This Book is hilarious from the begining till the end. Basically all the questions you ask yourself while watching a horror movie is in this book.The writer covers everything like the rules in I know what you did last summer.Do not read this book in company of people they will think you are nuts for laughing constantly.
