"I keep two reference works by my bed at all times. One is Eric Weber's How to Pick Up Girls. The other is John Stanley's Creature Features Movie Guide. Never has so much worthless information been gathered together in one place. I'm in awe of the man." --Joe Bob Briggs
"A Must." --Leonard Maltin
"The Leonard Maltin of horror." --Fangoria
