This comprehensive genre-focused eerie ebook edition gathers the complete horror, crime, and cult film reviews from the four S.R. Bissette''s Blur print volumes collecting the complete weekly "Video Views" columns (1999-2001) by veteran cartoonist, author, and film scholar Stephen R. Bissette. Renowned for raising hackles with his work as an artist, writer, publisher and writer (Swamp Thing, Taboo, Tyrant, Deep Red, Video Watchdog, The Monster Book: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Prince of Stories: The Many Worlds of Neil Gaiman, Teen Angels & New Mutants, etc.), Bissette is your horror host, bringing his unflinching industry-insider pop-culture coroner skills to his autopsies of the turn-of-the-century''s weirdest, wildest movies.

Bissette provides an expansive overview of every aspect of the creation of a graphic novel (in this case, Rick Veitch''s seminal "Brat Pack," 1990-1991), including its pop cultural roots, context, and wake; the personal and professional life of its creator; and the behind-the-scenes creative and business decisions that culminated in the publication of the completed serialized original.

The third in a series collecting the complete weekly "Video Views" columns (1999-2001) by renowned cartoonist, author and film scholar Stephen R. Bissette covers the video and DVD releases of November 2000 to May 2001. As the Millennium turned, Bissette wrote with perceptive wit and a greater grasp of cinema history than the high-ticket critics. From the slick Hollywood fantasy Frequency to Dogme 95 spawn Dancer in the Dark, he screened ''em all. He covered true indy films and often interviewed the filmmakers themselves. He discussed the revivals and rehashes, the glorious and the ghastly.

An official guide to Buffy the Vampire Slayer describes the mythology and influences behind the monsters, ghouls, and characters through interviews with the creators and details of the episodes.
