All new! All grue! It's the long-awaited sequel to author/designer Mark Voger's Rondo Award-winning book âMonster Mash: The Creepy, Kooky Monster Craze in America 1957-1972â which redefined Monster Kid fandom with a visually immersive graphic approach. This companion book revisits the period, while examining its literary and cinematic roots of its fictional precedents (Mary Shelleyâs âFrankenstein,â Bram Stokerâs âDraculaâ); early silent films (âCabinet of Dr. Caligari,â âNosferatuâ); the golden age of monster movies (with such stars as Lon Chaney Sr., Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and Chaney Jr.); the 3-D and teenage monster movie trends; the Edgar Allan Poe adaptations and Hammer Studios releases of the period; the monsters of Sixties TV; the eye-popping toys, memorabilia and comics; and the aftermath of the influential Monster Craze. It features interviews with filmmakers such as Ray Harryhausen (â20 Million Miles to Earthâ), Roger Corman (âThe Pit and the Pendulumâ), and stars like Gloria Stuart (âThe Invisible Manâ), Ricou Browning (âCreature From the Black Lagoonâ), Haruo Nakajima (âGodzillaâ), Jonathan Haze (âLittle Shop of Horrorsâ), Hazel Court (âCurse of Frankensteinâ), Kathryn Leigh Scott (âHouse of Dark Shadowsâ), Robert Quarry (âCount Yorga, Vampireâ) and many others. No monster fan should be without this treasure trove of terror!
