Great survival book for Horror fans.......2004-03-19
It doesen't get any better than this, this book covers monsters, psycho's, aliens, Zombies, mutants and anything else you can think of. Be prepared for what ever lurks out inthe woods, under your bed, in your town, or under your sink it's all here! Enjoy!
Totally funny and a must read!!.......2002-11-07
This book is hilarious. It runs downs numerous monsters/killers from well known and not so well known horror and sci-fi movies. The run down has the movie it was from, a quote from the film, the habitat, origin, behavior, cravings, how dangerous they are, how to kill them, their current status, and the body count of their victims. That is all well and good, but they way they explain some of is it done in a very humorus way. I'll be honest and say I wasn't expecting much when I ordered it, because I got it with another order. But when I started reading it, I was incredibly happy that I got it. I highly recommend it!!
This book is awesome!!!!!!.......2001-06-05
This book is good readin'.Even though it doesn't cover every single movie ever made, the selection of monsters was great.If you have ran out of horror movies to see, get this. Note:If anybody knows where to find the film Basket Case, include it in your review. Note 2: You can find a lot of these films at Blockbuster.
none.......2001-04-16
The Horror Movie Survival Guide is a must have read for horror buffs, and those just needing to hone up on their monsters. This indispensible guide is insightful, fact-filled, and chalked with campy humor, just like those schlocky B movies we all know and love. A handy reference guide for ridding yourself of monsters the right way. Shelve this one between Dr Spock's Baby Care Guide and Miss Manners Fine Etiquette... Gary S. Potter Author/Poet.

Great Gift.......2003-12-16
Received this book as a birthday gift seeing I was born on Oct. 31st, and really enjoyed it! Great table book for friends to flip through while you're in the john.
this book rocks.......2002-10-06
If you are looking for a serious book to learn the craft of acting, there are plenty of those in the library.
If you are looking for the most unique look at b-movie making available as told by the people who know the most, buy this book!
It's quick, funny, and gives you an insight that you cannot find elsewhere.
Good Humor.......2002-08-27
I enjoyed the book. Reading it was like watching a b-horror movie with your smart alex friend who loves to give timely sarcastic comments. It was light hearted, fun humor and the comments from the movie insiders were revealing and funny.
Fun with Fright.......2000-07-01
To find the true measure of this tongue-in-cheek horror movie book, put it on your coffee table and use it to compare notes while watching a monster/horror flick. This thing is dead-on...and funny! The hilarious intro, written by drive-in movie expert Joe Bob Briggs, is worth the price of the book. You can easily use B-Movie Survival Guide to set up beer drinking games while yelling at the screen. (example -- drink a beer every time someone opens the cellar door.) Killer (no pun intended) illustrations, too.
Well Worth The Purchase.......2000-06-30
I totally enjoyed this book. I thought the cartoons were fun, the jokes are cute and the celebrity stories added a lot. People always pick it up off my coffee table and say how clever it is, so for that alone it was worth purchasing. Be cool buy this book!

Fun Kit - Not to be Taken Seriously.......2007-03-30
We had a lot of fun with this kit, but I don't think that it would be useful to a "real" Elvis Tribute Artist. It's great for family entertainment or if you're having a 50s party. There are some interesting suggestions and a guide to videos to watch if you want to take it further.
The Elvis Impersonation Kit - Laura Lee.......2007-01-09
Useful information and advise on how to be a Elvis Presley impersonator/ Tribute Artist. I wish there would have been a photo of Barb "Belvis". There were numerous quotes by her, but no face to the name. Nice book though, cool kit.
Book Description
This book is a unique graphic and textual exploration of the musician and icon that was Elvis Presley. From his birth in a two room shack in East Tupelo, Mississippi, to his tragic early death at his Graceland home, the meteoric rise and fall of the King of Rock'n'Roll will be traced though a stunning collection of photographs, many rarely seen posters, memorabilia, headlines, and quotations from friends, fans and philosophizes of Elvis. With additional material including exclusive interviews with those who worked with and knew Elvis, "The Elvis Handbook brings a new light to bear on the extraordinary life of a true twentieth-century icon.

Being from Jacksonville, and a big fan of Rick's, I recommend this book for everyone whether you want to be Elvis, Priscilla or Lisa Marie!! Full of memorable pics of Elvis, Rick performing and pics of him with Celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker from "Honeymoon in Vegas". The book is colorful, entertaining and fun for any library! Rick is the "King" of showman himself, so slip into your blue suede shoes, lean back relax and enjoy "Be Elvis" - it rocks just like Rick and the forever King!
THIS NEEDED TO BE WRITTEN.......2000-12-06

A great gift for an elvis fans everywhere
Fascinating Details About Elvis and His Impersonators.......2000-10-23
"Wise men say, only fools rush in. But I can't help falling in love with you." That should help put you in the mood for reading this review. "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog!"
Although this book is about impersonating Elvis, I was intrigued about the many details about how Elvis achieved his effects on his audience.
The author is an Elvis impersonator who is president of the Elvis Impersonators International Association. You will learn almost everything you need to know to look, sound, and act like Elvis in a way that will stimulate those who meet you. After this book is widely read, Elvis sightings should definitely soar!
You get instructions for creating your own Elvis costume for around $170 (if you do your own sewing and can rent some blue suede shoes). If you are like me, you didn't know that Elvis used lots of make-up in his stage appearances. You will learn how to put that make-up on yourself, as well as dye your hair the right color (yes, Elvis dyed his hair, too).
If you are simply a loyal Elvis fan, you can be more like him by using only the products he did (Brut, Colgate toothpaste, Wella Balsam shampoo, Neutrogena soap, Scope and Listerine), so you can smell as nice as he always did.
The book contains instructions for making your entrance, putting together songs in the way Elvis would have done, and making a splashy exit. I never would have thought of hiring people to pretend to be your bodyguards.
You are cautioned to keep your act and costuming in sync.
If you do decide to become an impersonator, you get lots of marketing advice as well.
After Elvis died, many people resented impersonators. Since then, many people hunger for more Elvis and the impersonators have gotten better. Somewhere between 3,000 and 10,000 people now do Elvis impersonations. After this book, that number and quality will surely grow.
There is a lot of good humor in the book about what it is like to be an impersonator. Sometimes you can pick up tickets left for Elvis at the box office. Other times you may get a chance to advise on or appear in a movie, as the author did.
The many wonderful photographs of Elvis make this book fun to look at for Elvis fans.
There was only one let-down. The author says, "I firmly believe Elvis is dead." Maybe I'll have to go see an impersonator show after all.
You can enjoy this book as a serious look at Elvis, as a serious look at being an Elvis impersonator, or simply as good humored fun. In any dimension, you'll enjoy yourself!
After you have finished reading and enjoying your Elvis reveries, I suggest that you think about what else may be missing from your life that you once greatly enjoyed. How can you recapture that? This may mean revisiting old haunts, taking on new "old" experiences, or making new friends who share the old preferences. In any event, allow yourself to be real about what you once enjoyed. You can enjoy your youth at any age!
"Uh, thankya, thankya . . . very much!"

reusable stickers.......2006-02-25
This is a terrific product. When the sticker book arrived my 3 year old was sick. This kept him busy for several hours. Highly recomend.
Good Quiet Activity.......2005-10-03
We took this on vacation with us and three kids between the ages of 2 and 4. It was something different and they really enjoyed it. It was easy to pack and provided about an hour of quiet activity that didn't involve cartoons. It only lasted about 2 more times for my two year old son but older kids could probably get a few more uses out of it.
Customer Reviews:
Fantastic! Most practical, Do-able bussiness opportunity........2006-06-04
Lonnie Scruggs writes about purchasing and re-selling mobile homes. Its an easy read, the steps are outlined 1 by 1 for you. Everything from what to look for to repairs to ads to what to say to how to sell to sample paperwork.
You don't have to be a superstar seller, you don't have to be a financial wiz to understand these simple, effective techniques. As Lonnie says, don't overanalyze! Just follow his steps and you'll be on your way.
I can't give him enough kudos. You WILL succeed with this book.

This is a good book. We used it in '96 to negotiate a good lease, and we're getting ready to use it again. It has lots of helpful info and advice without adding "fluff." It's short and to the point--a fast read, and NOT BORING.
