sell in Woolies when we were kids. They were only 25 new pence each, if I
remember correctly.


50p in 1976, but yes, a much better read.

It was like reading someone's diary. Give me a proper horror novel like
SLUGS any day.

rightly so....if i want to read a proper horror book youd be better off
with a bit of james herbert.



when i was in senior school the library had all the james herbert books.
the silly over the top sex scene descritions were priceless - even garth
merenghi couldnt manage to be as daft as the real thing.

Unbelievably dull and slow paced. I don't know
how it became famous, that first movie of it was also
a snorer.

Hey, just coz you don't have any books worth more than a dry tit sack don't
mean you gotta be jealous of the seller.

The first one, NOSFERATU, is one of the greatest horror movies of all
time, and still stands as one today.

You refer, I assume, to the first *American* version, which no one will
disagree is VERY POOR. The Spanish version shot-back-to-back on the
same sets is an improvement and worth checking out.
