You can't take it anymore! Do you dream of idleness, fanned toes, mountains, beaches or sunshine? Holiday from hell (at the cinema) will make you crave it!
This first horror-tourism guide reveals the hidden side of exotic destinations, summer camps and seaside resorts.
Through 50 years of fantastic cinema and a hundred terrifying films, find out why you better stay home this summer...
- Choose your FINAL destination on a map that shows you the multiple dangers!
- Sharks, piranhas, crocodiles, snakes, jellyfish, grizzlies or big cats, but also aggressive rednecks, hungry cannibals or serial killers: you'll know exactly what sauce you're going to be eaten!
- Nature, sometimes unwelcoming, is also put to use through some examples of deadly beaches, (too) steep mountains or forests filled with weird things (carnivorous plants, hallucinogenic mushrooms...).
- Even the perilous means of transport are approached: defective planes, deadly trains, dangerous boats...
- For most of the dangers discussed, the reader can find a Guiding Point (statistics or actual facts reported) as well as a Info Survival , a story of trying to get away with it (or not).
- As a bonus: a handful of (a)varied games (crossword, maze, seven errors game...), a horrific guide to the American states, a tutorial to learn how to communicate with extraterrestrials and even Horror BnB, a compilation of the worst addresses in the world!
