The Horror Crossover Encyclopedia - Tapa blanda

The Ultimate Guide to Horror Easter Eggs

You know Abbot and Costello met Frankenstein, and Freddy met Jason. You know all the monsters met for a mad, mad party and Scooby-Doo met Mr. Hyde. You even know when Hellboy punched out the Great Old Ones and Sherlock Holmes aided in cleansing Dracula from the earth.

But did you know all of the references in Joss Whedon's Cabin in the Woods, or just what obscure horrors Warren Ellis' Planetary hinted at, or who everyone was in Kim Newman's Anno Dracula? Did you know about the mosic made from Stephen King's novels, or all the easter eggs hidden in Carnacki the Ghost-Finder's many adventures?

Robert E. Wronski Jr. knows, and he is delighted to share. From his secret library of notes, he brings you an encyclopedia dedicated to chronicles these stories: recording the myriad easter eggs and hints that not only catalogue a history of influence and homage, but a secret secondary world that ties together everything from the Invisible Man to Ghostbusters, or H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos to Aliens.

Featuring an all-new preface from Trick or Treat Radio's Dynamo Mars, as well as appreciations from James Bojaciuk and Ivan Ronald Schablotski.

Remember when Abbott and Costello met Frankenstein, or when Freddy met Jason? Remember when all the monsters met for a mad, mad party, or when Scooby Doo met Mr. Hyde? Remember when Hellboy punched out the Great Old Ones or when Sherlock Holmes staked Dracula? Or, perhaps, you're younger and you can still vividly recall Buffy taking on Xenomorphs, or the Ghostbusters sending Cthulhu back to the watery depths, or Joss Whedon's Cabin in the Woods. You may recall when the Planetary Foundation dug into the secret history of giant ants and 50 foot tall women; or, possibly, the alternate universe where Dracula ruled England. Much harder to recall are the days when Carnacki the Ghost-Finder faced down The House on the Borderland, or the mosaic made from Stephen King's novels. You may have forgotten. But take a deep breath. Robert E. Wronski Jr. remembers. From his secret library of notes, he brings you a book dedicated to chronicling these stories: recording the myriad easter-eggs and hints that tie together modern horror and prove the universe to be nothing more than a thing of terror. The Horror Crossover Encyclopedia is a reference guide of fictional crossovers within the horror genre, using a “six degrees” methodology. Settle deep in your coffin, fill your pipe with tana leaves, and enjoy.
