Then the book goes on to talk about Rob Zombie’s version of Halloween and how while it’s more gory, it lacks compared to the original. There’s not really a motivation assigned to his actions in the first movie. There’s no rhyme or reason to why Michael is such a scary guy. The book talks about how Michael Myers is so scary specifically because he’s the embodiment of the boogie man. However, the part that stuck out to me the most was when the book talked about John Carpenter’s Halloween. Like, I feel like maybe I learned some stuff, but overall, I would fail a test based on this book, like if in some parallel universe, I had to take tests based on books that I finished. To be quite honest, this book was sort of in one ear and out the other to me. Also? This book made me want to watch some horror films on Netflix. There’s even a small part where the film Scary Movie is mentioned. It’s actually a pretty interesting listen if you are the sort of person who likes scary movies. Zinoman’s audiobook, Shock Value is another in a long line of books where the subtitle essentially gives away the topic. Shock Value: How a Few Eccentric Outsiders Gave Us Nightmares, Conquered Hollywood, and Invented Modern Horror is about the masters of modern horror films. Also? Shock Value is a ridiculously short audiobook which makes it an ideal listen for when you are need of a palate cleanser between audiobooks. Shock Value: How a Few Eccentric Outsiders Gave Us Nightmares, Conquered Hollywood, and Invented Modern Horror by Jason Zinoman has the kind of title that appeals to me.
