All new! All grue! It’s the long-awaited sequel to author/designer Mark Voger’s Rondo Award-winning book Monster Mash: The Creepy, Kooky Monster Craze in America 1957-1972 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 Shelleys Frankenstein, Bram Stokers Dracula); early silent films (Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu); 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 (20 Million Miles to Earth), Roger Corman (The Pit and the Pendulum)
