As we put the finishing touches on ICFH Books 2 & 3, we are proud to announce the revised contents of Book 2. This is still our tribute to Slasher Flicks, particularly those knife-kill epics from the year 1981, but we have added three more slasher enriched articles to make the slasher celebration more fun. First up is a revised article about Cannon's quirky slasher trio, New Year's Evil, Schizoid and X-Ray. Then, Jim Rex throws in with a list of Forgotten Slashers (and we're not talking one of those clickbait lists of "Obscure Slasher Films You've Never Heard Of" that begins with The Burning- nope, these titles are a little off the radar and well worth seeking out). Finally, slasher director Mitch Wilson talks about his 2016 slasher flick Knucklebones, which he loaded with gore for its 2020 director's cut release on Blu-ray.
The Celebration just got bigger! Beat the Summer Heat- stay inside in the air-conditioning and read It Came From Hollywood Book 2! And watch movies!
