Loved The Art January 6, 2009
Robert Elliott
Really loved the book. It was a great read on a long flight. The art work is all mind blowing and keeps on attacking you from ever single page. Really enjoyed the book, if you are a fan of this kind of stuff its a must read.
My favorite book ever! January 5, 2009

A must for all low-budget flick fans! December 12, 2008
Mark C. Scerpella
Ever since I first read "The Golden Turkey Awards" in the late '70s,I have followed the fascinating history of low-budget cinema,my desire to learn more fueled by various books,movies,TV shows and other media I have encountered,the latest being the 2007 film "Grindhouse".
Author Stephen Romano,with an assist from many talented individuals,has created a fictional history of several such movies,as well as the bizarre auteurs who managed to create them,despite living existances of seemingly non-stop depravity and addiction;All this is aided with visuals of some wonderfully lurid posters,as well as other media,all distressed by the world of bottom-feeder cinema that is the backdrop for the incredibly,sickly tantalizing world of "Shock Festival".
 A Great book with great retro images. November 7, 2008
B. Doss (glenview, illinois United States)
Shock Festival is a fascinating,in-depth look at a bundle of B- movies,low -rent 70's shockers and out-and out sleaze films. Be forewarned though,all of these movies,stills,actors,and actresses are all fake. I bought the book thinking it would be similar to Stephen Thrower's book on real B-movies. This book has engrossing visuals and painstakingly perfect reproductions of posters, they all look real,but none of these movies ever existed.
