Filmmaker John Landis takes readers through the fantastical world of US live-action and animated horror films, covering classic movies as well as those that have not achieved classic status. The book is divided into chapters on various monsters, from vampires and werewolves to dragons and dinosaurs, space monsters, and the most monstrous of all, human monsters and mad scientists. Other themes are myths and fairytales, nature's revenge, and atomic mutation. Secrets of makeup, masks, and other special effects are illustrated with color photos of the professionals behind the effects. The book also includes interviews with eight major horror film directors. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) - DK Publishing
