Overview

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.

""Postman rang with this newest by undisputed King of Chiller Chroniclers Tom Weaver, whose latest sealed fate for the rest of my day. As always where one from Weaver arrives, no chores nor else for the rest of this day. Saucers could land and I'd not put Creature Feature Creators down. ... What Halloween delight this book is, and what amazing images festoon it, none seen elsewhere, at least by me. Weaver knows what is rarest, and he shares them. I rave seldom enough on books for you all to know I mean it when I do, and this time I really mean it. Go get Creature Feature Creators!""--Greenbriar Picture Show ""Weaver's talks with selected celebs let the conversations go where they will, with frequent surprises and colorful opinions.... None of the interviews here are duplicates or repeats from his [previous] books.... Weaver salts the text with interesting stills--behind the scenes snaps, cheesecake photos... The 350 fat pages of text and images are a very good read.""--CineSavant
