Publisher's summary

The credits have rolled, but the lights are still off. Something is lurking on the other side of the screen. There are dark secrets, starving monsters, and haunted survivors who refuse to be left on the cutting room floor. But that's okay, right? After all, everybody loves the movies...

Here are 23 terrifying tales, dark reflections of the silver screen from both sides of the camera. James Dean gets a second chance at life and death. The Wicked Witch is out of Oz, and she's made some very unlucky friends. When God decides reality needs an editor, what and who gets cut?

These award-winning, best-selling authors will take you to the darkest depths of the theater and beyond.

More Misses than Hits.

This anthology was just okay for my taste. It had some good stories, but a lot were long and boring. The good ones for me were "Final Girl Theory", "She Drives Men to Crimes of Passion", "Even the Pawn", "Tenderizer" and "Ardor".

Two words - Boring, confusing

There was one or two stories that were a three star but the rest were 1-2 star. There were ones that I couldn't wait to end and others that were too hard to follow.
