Before the Internet, horror reference books are where you'd go to learn about the genre. Whether it was film and video guides, biographies, or just general information titles, we learn about new titles as well as learn more about the ones we already knew. And it is still as effective today! In this episode, we cover some titles that were essential to us, as well as some of our favorite titles today.
