Movie reference books?

[Stefani Eleni]

Hi just wondered if anyone knew of any good movie reference books?
In particular im looking for one on horror/scifi/fantasy genres.

I already own the Radio Times Guide to Films which i think is excellent and very comprehensive with good reviews but was looking for something more specialist toward the horror etc genre.
Does anyone own anything like this or know of any good ones?

This sort of thing?

Halliwells usually do good flm guides, whether or not they do a specific horrow one I don't know, I certainly can't find one.

Men, Women and Chainsaws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film by Carol Clover - Excellent book if you want to read a lot about women in such films, especially slasher films, but doesn't just concentrate on the slasher sub genre.

The Monstrous Feminine: Film, Feminisn, Psychoanalysis by Barbara Creed - Good book if you like the above book I mentioned and like reading about subjects in that direction towarRAB the Horror genre.

The Horror Film Reader by Alain Silver and James Ursani is also very good, we had a few copies of this book when I was at college.

If you like Dario Argento films I recommend the book Art of Darkness: The Cinema of Dario Argento.
