Description

The march of the monster movie makers continues in Tom Weaver's ninth book of in-depth interviews with the men and women who made the horror and sci-fi favorites of the 1940s, '50s and '60s. Actors (including Mike Connors, Brett Halsey, Natalie Trundy and Richard Kiel), writers, producers and directors recall legendary genre figures Lugosi, Chaney, Jr., Tod Browning and James Whale; films ranging in quality from ""The Thing"" to ""Macumba Love"" and ""Eegah""; behind-the-scenes tales of cult TV series (""Twilight Zone"", ""Batman"", ""Lost in Space"", more) and serials; and, of course, the usual barrage of outlandish movie menaces, this time including the ""Fly"", ""Flesh Eaters"", ""Monolith Monsters"", ape men, voodoo women and spider babies! - and all in the candid, no-holds-barred style that has made Weaver ""king of the interviewers"" (""Classic Images"")!
