Can you tell us about three, in particular, that always bowl you over with their genius? The artists featured in the book are incredible. Also, the first book was a lot of fun to do, and I wanted to repeat that experience. I also learned a lot from putting that first book together, and used that knowledge with the new volume, which allowed me to push the format a bit further. I have some background in the horror movie industry - including the first three Hellraiser movies - and have published a number of film-related books over the years. When I was asked to come up with a follow-up, I pitched The Art of Horror Movies. A couple of years ago I did a book called The Art of Horror: An Illustrated History for the same publisher (Applause/Hal Leonard) and it did very well, even winning a couple of awards. Stephen Jones: To be honest, The Art of Horror Movies was a no-brainer for me.
MERRY JANE: How did The Art of Horror Movies come to be? In every sense, this guy is a hell-raiser. Stephen Jones took some time to talk to MERRY JANE about TAOHM. In addition to all the incredible imagery, The Art of Horror Movies showcases accompanying essays by top-tier fear writers and a foreword by legendary filmmaker John Landis ( Animal House, An American Werewolf in London). The Art of Horror Movies: An Illustrated History is the one book screaming to land inside your trick-or-treat bag this year - just be prepared, because this thing is a monster! Compiled and edited by award-winning fright fiction author Stephen Jones, the huge, heavy, breathtakingly-rendered TAOHM compiles hundreds of exquisitely eerie posters and other promotional materials dating back from the dawn of cinematic terror to the cutting-edge of 21 st century scare fare.
