Macabre city offerings and variously vile movie locations are explored in hair-raising detail in this entertaining travel guide. The names and addresses of people, places and - of course - things associated with the horror genre - such as the real-life Baltimore haunts of Edgar Allen Poe, the final resting place of Bela Lugosi and Stephen King's Maine - are coupled with trivia, travel tips, photographs and a ghoulishly fun narrative. Includes information on the locations used in cult classics such as Dawn of the Dead, The Exorcist and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
