This second volume, edited by Michel Caen and Nicolas Stanzick, with a preface by Barbara Steele, brings together issues 7 to 11 of the review, including the impossible to find number 8 “Eroticism and horror in English cinema”. Enriched with unpublished photos and texts, it also includes the DVD Les Cauchemars de Midi-Minuit . Distinguished vampires speaking the language of Molière, from the banks of the Oise to the sidewalks of the Champs-Élysées. A two-headed singer whose adventures keep the good French readers of Dimanche-Écho spellbound . A Fantômas in a bustier, veil and fishnet stockings, among other immoral eccentricities. And a vengeful fairy who revolutionizes May 68 with her very personal vision of sex... Here are gathered the great hours of midi-minuisme on film, five French and Belgian short films, not only defended in their time by Midi-Minuit Fantastique, but directed by feathers or relatives of the journal. A conquest by the underground side . The most exciting, of course.
