That book made a big impact on me, too. I was also floored by Michael Weldon's first edition of The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film. Today's internet generation probably can't relate to the sense of discovery that this book offered but to read Weldon's book and be exposed to so many genre titles that I had never known existed was a complete eye-opener for me. And this being at the very beginning of the video age - and several years before my own family would purchase a VCR for our household - the idea that I would ever get a chance to see many of these films firsthand seemed unlikely. It was just exciting to feel like I had just began to scratch the surface of what the horror and exploitation genres had to offer.
