"As I write this, my friends are all watching a scary movie and there’s at least one empty seat in the theater. Reader, I chickened out! If you’re also a weenie who has extreme FOMO when everyone’s talking about Jordan Peele’s latest or have to watch even the gentlest Hitchcock with the lights on, this book is for you. Emily C. Hughes spoils every major movie plot in horror history – with a bunch of actually funny jokes sprinkled in to make the journey less scary. Hughes also adds context that I might’ve missed if I watched while peeking out from under the covers. Things like, what zombie films have to do with the Vietnam War and how The Blair Witch Project changed the horror movie landscape."
