Synopsis

Go behind the scenes of Hollywood's horror and science fiction classics (and classic schlock) in Tom Weaver's 13th compilation of confrontations with their makers: more than 25 writers, producers, directors, actors and more.

The movies under discussion range from 1940s flicks with spooks and She-Wolves, to the 1970s' Nature Runs Wild thrillers and drive-in dregs. Dracula, Frankenstein and a Werewolf, Cyclops and Slime People, Atomic Brains and Brain Eaters, Giant Ants and Night Monsters (and other abominations) teem in the pages within. There are also side trips into TV to reminisce about the iconic series Adventures of Superman, The Munsters and Thriller.
