I know this is a good movie guide because it took up residence next to my remote control and gets consulted on a near-nightly basis. John Stanley, who inherited Bob Wilkins's famous Bay Area show called "Creature Features," does a bang-up job of reviewing thousands of movies through the end of '96 that fall in a general grab-bag category of being spooky or fantastic. This is the fifth edition of Stanley's guide and the first to come out in a handy mass-market size. As
Joe Bob Briggs puts it, "I keep this reference work by my bed at all times. Never has so much worthless information been gathered together in one place. I'm in awe of the man."
