Cinema Salem : Spook-tacular Entertainment !,
By
This review is from: Cinema Salem - A Cinematic Guide to the Witch City (Hardcover)
As a fan of TCM's famed film historian Robert Osborne and a major film and TV buff myself, I was enthralled by author Peter Mac's Unique book. It is a fascinating look at all of the independant and Hollywood "A" List productions that have used the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692 as a backdrop for great story telling. First time author Peter Mac has clearly done his home work researching the turbulent history of this legendary 17th Century village in Salem, Massachusetts and the atrocities that befell 20 innocent people during the hysteria. Having never been to Salem, Mass. myself, I am now, more determined than ever to visit the landmarks and sites that are depicted in Mr. Mac's wonderful book. I only hope and pray that the once tormented and tortured souls of the 1692 witch trials have found peace now and have gone on to a more beautiful plane of existence !

A must-read!,

This review is from: Cinema Salem - A Cinematic Guide to the Witch City (Hardcover)
This book is a must for anyone interested in the treatment of Salem, the "witch" town, in cinema. In the hands of a less-skilled writer, it could have been just a dull recounting of various facts. Instead, Peter Mac brings everything to life in a most entertaining and informative way. Adding this to your library would greatly enhance it!
