In 2007, Stephen Thrower unleashed the behemoth film reference book Nightmare USA into the world. Spanning nearly 150 titles, Nightmare USA provides an in-depth look into the American regional horror film landscape popularized in grindhouse theaters and drive-ins during the 1970s and 80s. Join hosts Adam Hursey and Sam Panico as they use this tome as a guide to explore the underbelly of America, one horror film at a time.
