The best one yet!

If you're a fan of this series, I would be amazed if you didn't love this one. It has the great drawings, the gore, the beauty, the sense of humor of past entries, AND references beloved classic horror. The books have always winked at these topics ... like the twins in the hallway in Creepatorium -- but this one dives in with Freddy, and Michael, and Jason, Chucky, multiple incarnations of Dracula. Norman Bates's house. The Amityville house. Multiple pages dedicated to The Shining!

If you haven't purchased this series yet, but are a colorist who likes horror and has colored fields of flowers, forests of trees, and countless mandalas, I believe this would be a welcome change of pace. There are other horror themed books, but the ones I've purchased just don't have the quality. Often great pictures, but frustrating paper.

These have thick pages that work well with a variety of tools. Alcohol markers and Sharpies bleed through, but I'm not sure I know of a book that doesn't have that issue. But pencils, gel pencils, pastels, and water colors -- if you don't overdo the water -- are no problem.

The book fell apart the same day I bought it!

I was really happy to receive it. The artwork is phenomenal. However as I was writing down the movie references in the book, one page after another started to fall out. I don't have a coloring book anymore; I have a bunch of loose pages, and I just received it in the mail today. I'm slightly angry. I am so disappointed about this. I love the artwork and the coloring pages. I might keep it for that reason, but the book it's self is built very poorly.

Beautiful book but the binding is brittle and pages fall out

First of all I have to say I love the artwork and the paper the pages are on is really nice and heavy. This is not a book where the images can be removed as there are images on both sides of the pages and some pictures are two pages wide. I wish I would’ve known that but they can still be colored and used as an art book on a coffee table.
The problem I had with this book was the binding. When you open the book to lay flat for coloring the pages pop out from the binding and fall out. So the function of this book is ruined. Color it and the pages fall out. Don’t open it up and it’s a coffee table type book that no one can look at for fear of losing pages. It just doesn’t work. Too bad for the cheap binding tho because the book is fun, creative and beautiful. Disappointed.

Book Fell Apart

My fiancé bought me the entire series for Christmas and this was the one I was most excited for but as soon as I started looking through the pages to color the book started falling apart. Super disappointing after being so excited to receive this item.

This book is ICONIC and hilarious

HUGE fan of Alan Robert's Beauty of Horror books. They are the only coloring books that I continuously buy blind because I know that they are guaranteed to be amazing. I am not a fan of the floral, portrait based books anymore. IMO, they are way too redundant. Alan's books aren't like that at all. They are very creative and you don't get bored with his designs. Since they are horror themed, I feel like I can be way more creative with them.

He hasn't let us down. I love this volume because it showcases icon characters from all horror (classic monsters, classic movies, shows, etc.) in humorous ways. I literally love every page in this book. There is a good mix, 50/50, of single and double page spreads. Same great paper that can stand up to most media. I would not recommend alcohol markers though, they will bleed through. If you are a alcohol marker enthusiast, I would recommend getting two copies of the book.

Pages fall off

I love the book and the quality of the paper and the images are great! The only downside is that the pages fall off almost immediately. The first time I colored a page like ten fell off and now they’re almost all disconnected

Beautiful artwork

I love this whole series of coloring books. But as soon as I opened this one, it came apart, and all of the pages fell out. It's still a wonderful coloring book.

disassembles right in front of you

i was really excited when i first got this from barnes and noble but within the first hours i started using it like 5 separate pages fell out. the pages are perforated which is great, aside from them all being double sided. but now within 4 days half of the pages basically disassembled right in front of me. i can tell at some point they’ll all have fallen out. this is a big issue for me and i’m really sad about it. probably won’t buy again

The book fell apart the first time I colored in it.

The first time I colored in my book the binding came apart and numerous pages fell out of the book and were loose. Very disappointing.
