I too own Video Hound's Cult Flicks and Trash Pics. Great book, although I don't agree with some of the reviews. I reccomend it to everyone here.
It's a great book to flip through and find the worst movies ever....usually by reading the titles alone
-Vampires on Video -The Evil Dead Companion -The Zombies that Ate Pittsburgh:The Films of George Romero -The Night of the Livign Dead filmbook -If Chins Could Kill (Bruce Campbell) -Grande Illusions (Savini)
Pyschotronic Encyclopedia of Film Psychotronic Video Guide The Phantom's Ultimate Video Guide Sex and Zen and a Bullet in the Head Art of Darkness The Bare Facts Video Guide
Great book! Hang onto it: I sold my copy, that was in VGC, about a year ago on eBay and got $60 for it, but now wish that I hadn't.....
In the early '90s, I bought practically every horror related book or magazine that I could find. My addiction / obsession knew no ends! From memory, my collection includes: Deep Red volumes 1 - 6 Deep Red Horror Handbook Deep Red Alert (sic?) Deep Red Anniversary Most of the first 100 or so Fangoria mags, the early Gorezones, the early Headpress and Dark Side magazines from the UK, etc. I have some great George Romero related books from the early '90s including The Zombies That Ate Pittsburgh. Great book. Also Romero's novel Dawn of the Dead. I have some great glossy horror books from France and Italy. They're small but very glossy with the most exquisite photographs and are based on such films as Cannibal Holocaust, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Argento, Fulci, etc. Altogether, with all my Chas Balun books, early guides to horror from the '70s, and so on, I'd hazard a guess that I have around 250 - 500 film guides / movie tie-ins. Sadly, most of my books are normally boxed up so I rarely have the opportunity to read up on genre subjects. My spending on movie books has really dropped off in the last decade but I have purchased the beautiful Beyond Terror Fulci book (ltd signed edition) and the Argento hardback (1st version) from Fab Press in the last few years.

I have Psychotronic Video Guide Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film Video Hound's Cult Flicks and Trash Pics Terror On Film Creature Features Fangoria's 101 best Horror Films you have not seen BFI Companion on Horror I recommend all of these to a varying degree. The Psychotronic books and Terror On Film are my bibles.
I've got Videhounds Cult Flicks and Trash Picks and the second edition of John Stanley's Creature Features
Fangoria's 101 best Horror Films you have not seen I've read numerous other ones, but when I get to the checkout counter I find another DVD in my hand and not the book.
I always get fustrated and happy at the same time when I read horror review/reference books. I realize that there are so many movies I have not seen yet which makes me mad because I wish I had the money to buy them all but at the same time I know that my search for good horror will probably never end since good movies keep poping up all the time.
