A collection of recipes inspired by popular horror movies.
This themed cookbook is well laid out and has a good variety of recipes, with required skill level ranging from utter novice to moderately skilled home cook. The recipes are easy to follow, and there are several lists—recipes by movie, movies by theme, movies by year—and themed menu suggestions that would make this handy for entertaining.
There are some really clever movie/recipe match-ups, like grilled prawns for Beetlejuice and pumpkin soup for It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, but some of them feel like quite the stretch—I can't imagine the girls in The Craft whipping up an artichoke dip with gruyère and spinach for their slumber party!
The Halloween Movie Cookbook would be a fun addition to the library of horror fans who enjoy entertaining.
