Cult Movies 2 is a 1983 book by Danny Peary, a follow-up to his 1980 book Cult Movies. Just like its predecessor it consists of a series of essays regarding what Peary described as the most representative examples of the cult film phenomenon. This book covered fifty films not among the hundred in the first volume.

Content

The films are presented in alphabetical order, with each chapter featuring a story synopsis for the covered title, Peary’s response to the film, production and release details, and a brief selection of contemporary critical reviews.[1][2] The book features one guest contributor, Henry Blinder, who wrote the essay on Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. A sequel to this book came out in 1988: Cult Movies 3.
