Does anyone like a good horror book or comic? I just bought the book Midnight Movie written by Tobe Hooper. I'm real excited to dig into it and has gotten fairly good reviews. The plot summary, from Amazon.com reads:
"The good news: Director Tobe Hooper has been invited to speak at a screening of Destiny Express, a movie he wrote and directed as a teenager, but that hasn’t seen the light of day in decades. And Hooper’s fans are ecstatic.
The bad news: Destiny Express proves to be a killer . . . literally. As the death toll mounts, Tobe embarks on a desperate journey to understand the film’s thirty-year-old origins—and put an end to the strange epidemic his creation has set in motion.
Featuring the terror, humor, and sly documentary style Hooper devotees remember from such classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Midnight Movie is vintage Tobe Hooper, again demonstrating the director’s place as one of the godfathers of modern horror."
It seems like it should be a fairly quick and good read, so I'll be sure and report back soon once I am finished reading it.
