Ghost Story
Peter StraubCoy Hall@Error59452156 Abracadabra is the only one I've disliked so far. I liked the story (it's essentially Peter Straub's Ghost Story with magicians), but I hated the character Juice so much I couldn't take it 🤣

White Zombie: Anatomy of a Horror Film
Gary D. RhodesCoy Hall@Degrineer Yes! Gary Rhodes' book on White Zombie (1932) is a great example of that. Or you could do one director's filmography. Or a book that focuses on the actors in NZ horror.
