A chilling twist on the “cursed film” genre from the bestselling author of The Pallbearers Club and The Cabin at the End of the World.
In June 1993, a group of young guerilla filmmakers spent four weeks making Horror Movie, a notorious, disturbing, art-house horror flick.
The weird part? Only three of the film’s scenes were ever released to the public, but Horror Movie has nevertheless grown a rabid fanbase. Three decades later, Hollywood is pushing for a big budget reboot.
The man who played “The Thin Kid” is the only surviving cast member. He remembers all too well the secrets buried within the original screenplay, the bizarre events of the filming, and the dangerous crossed lines on set that resulted in tragedy. As memories flood back in, the boundaries between reality and film, past and present start to blur. But he’s going to help remake the film, even if it means navigating a world of cynical producers, egomaniacal directors, and surreal fan conventions — demons of the past be damned.
But at what cost?

What people are saying
I have yet to read something by Paul Tremblay that I don’t like and Horror Movie is no exception. It's weird and creepy and I really enjoyed it.

Another solid entry by Paul Tremblay. Another creepy book with an absolutely wild ending. I’m still trying to figure out exactly what that ending means, which is exactly what I love about Paul Tremblay. He’s not in it to just creep you out, he wants to make his readers think about his stories.

Horror Movie is a book that will sink its claws into you from the very first chapter and not let go until it's done (and maybe not even then).

This was such a slow book with very little character development that just didn’t do it for me in the end.

I know this first line isn't going to be the most quotable line in a review but here it is anyway:
This is a total mindf*ck of a novel! And it is now my favorite Paul Tremblay book.Char
