Son of Monster Mash HC
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 Shelley s Frankenstein, Bram Stoker s 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 ), and stars like Gloria Stuart ( The Invisible Man ), Ricou Browning ( Creature From the Black Lagoon ), Haruo Nakajima ( Godzilla ), Jonathan Haze ( Little Shop of Horrors ), Hazel Court ( Curse of Frankenstein ), Kathryn Leigh Scott ( House of Dark Shadows ), Robert Quarry ( Count Yorga, Vampire ) and many others. No monster fan should be without this treasure trove of terror!
