Description:
With knowledge, humor
and an appropriately twisted perspective, [the authors] give readers a fuller
realization of what late-night cinema offers. With a foreword by Patton Oswalt,
this celebration of strangeness is well worth exploring. – Pop Culture Classics.
Based on the Turner
Classic Movies series, TCM Underground is the movie-lover's guide to
50 of the most campy, kitschy, shocking, and weirdly wonderful cult films you
need to see.
In the pages of this
book, you'll explore this unique order of films – primarily from the 1960s,
'70s, and '80s – with insightful reviews, behind-the-scenes stories, subgenre
sidebars, and full-color and black-and-white photography throughout. Go along
for the ride with new takes on crime films, including The Honeymoon Killers
and The Harder They Come. Witness one-of-a-kind horror in Bill Gunn's
landmark vampire film Ganja and Hess and Nobuhiko Obayashi’s infamous
and indescribable Hausu. Absorb the boundary-pushing documentary-style
trilogy The Decline of Western Civilization, which throws you into
indelible moments in the punk and metal music scenes. And marvel at pure '80s
oddities like Mac and Me and The Garbage Pail Kids.
From
Possession to Polyester and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
to Xanadu, no two films are alike in this compendium. Just sit back and
prepare to be surprised, amused, and entertained by this celebration of the
stars, filmmakers, and stories behind fifty of the most beguiling and
unforgettable movies ever to hit the screen.
