Fantastic Cinema Subject Guide cover

About 2,500 genre films are entered under more than 100 subject headings, ranging from abominable snowmen through dreamkillers, rats, and time travel, to zombies, with a brief essay on each topic: development, highlights, and trends.

Each film entry shows year of release, distribution company, country of origin, director, producer, screenwriter, cinematographer, cast credits, plot synopsis and critical commentary.

“When Bryan Senn writes books on cinema, many monster movie fans know he grabs their attention right away and won’t let go”—Scary Monsters Magazine; “not only is this useful in reference, it’s a browser’s delight...should be a standard addition to reference shelves...highly recommended”—Choice; “presents substantial filmographic information...a useful source”—Booklist; “This much-needed guide arranges 2,500 titles under 81 subject areas.”—Neil Barron, Editor of Fantasy and Horror.
