Win a Copy of the Making of Cujo Book

New book charts the making of Lewis Teague’s 1983 Stephen King shocker Cujo

Lewis Teague’s eco-horror masterpiece Cujo, made an entire generation of horror fans think twice before allowing their beloved canines off the leash. I’ll never forget that film, with that poor, sweet St. Bernard sticking his head into a log and getting savaged by red-eyed vampire bats. And then, all that rabies business. The drooling and the barking and the biting and the madness. Dogpocalypse Now!

RELATED: Lee Gambin talks new Cujo book

More than 30 years on, Melbourne-based film historian Lee Gambin (who also writes for this very site) has revisited the film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, in the extensive, borderline exhaustive tome “Nope, Nothing Wrong Here: The Making of Cujo,” out now from Bear Manor Media. This book is huge and detailed and unlike anything else. It’s the first, last and best word on the subject of Cujo.

Gambin’s previous work — “Massacred by Mother Nature: Exploring the Natural Horror Film” and “We Can be Who We Are: Movie Musicals from the 1970s” — displays his endless knowledge of cinema, along with his ability to provide new insight into much loved films. “Nope, Nothing Wrong Here” continues in this vein as Gambin talks with countless people involved in the production of Cujo. Including Dee Wallace, Danny Pintauro and his parents and the film’s animal trainers, each providing unique insight into the making of Cujo.
