It is no secret that I love an excuse to eat or drink, and thankfully Ulysses Press has given me yet another excuse with \u201cThe Horror Movie Night Cookbook: 60 Deliciously Deadly Recipes Inspired By Iconic Slashers, Zombie Films, Psychological Thrillers, Sci-Fi Spooks, & More\u201d by Richard S. Sargent. Honestly, Ulysses Press had me with \u201cThe Mama\u2019s Boy Martini.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sargent has included appetizers, entrees, cocktails, and desserts based on \u201cScream\u201d AND \u201cScream 2\u201d, \u201cThe Blair Witch Project\u201d, \u201cPoltergeist\u201d, \u201cI Know What You Did Last Summer\u201d, \u201cIdentity\u201d, \u201cDawn of the Dead\u201d, \u201cCrawl\u201d, \u201cThe Wicker Man\u201d (the 1973 version), \u201c28 Days Later\u201d, \u201cPiranha\u201d, \u201cThe Descent\u201d, \u201cStir of Echoes\u201d, \u201cBroken Lizard\u2019s Club Dread\u201d, \u201cPsycho\u201d (the 1960 version), \u201cShaun of the Dead\u201d, \u201cCujo\u201d, \u201cHalloween\u201d, \u201cContagion\u201d, \u201cThe Ruins\u201d, \u201cEvent Horizon\u201d, \u201cThe Evil Dead\u201d, \u201cThe Conjuring\u201d, \u201cJaws\u201d, \u201cBug\u201d, \u201cNight of the Living Dead\u201d, \u201cThe Birds\u201d, \u201cBlack Christmas\u201d, \u201cCabin Fever\u201d, and \u201cTucker and Dale vs. Evil.\u201d That\u2019s a WHOLE LOT of films and they inspired a WHOLE LOT of recipes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sargent\u2019s recipe selections are varied, ranging from difficult to super easy. Most of the ingredients are readily available, and true to past cookbook reviews, I had to try out a few recipes. Obviously, I had to try a cocktail recipe. I went with The Shark Bite inspired by \u201cJaws.\u201d I decided to try it because I already had a bottle of blue Curacao from when I made The Sea After the Storm Dark and Stormy from \u201cThe Unofficial Princess Bride Cookbook.\u201d<\/a> This made an impressive looking cocktail, that would be a hit at any ocean themed get together. It tasted good, but my tip is to top it off with seltzer. It made it taste even better and made \u201cocean foam.\u201d For a food item I tried out Brown Butter Lemon Popcorn from the What\u2019s Your Favorite Scary Movie Popcorn recipe inspired by the movie \u201cScream.\u201d I chose this recipe because it\u2019s SUPER easy, it starts with microwave popcorn! I was surprised how good the lemon was with the popcorn! I followed the recipe and ended up accidentally over buttering and over lemoning (yes, it\u2019s a word) the popcorn, but someone paying better attention would probably have avoided that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
