This book reads like a love letter to the absolutely insane horror of the years mentioned in the title, and my god is this fun to learn about. I personally have several of these added to a reading list because sometimes we all need a little silliness in our lives. Some of these do sound downright ridiculous, and I'm fine with that. Excellent book, excellent coverage of the genre and truly wonderful humor throughout. Grady has done a wonderful job three times in a row for me, and I can't wait to read some of these myself, as well as other works by the author.
