Overview
"'I talked with a zombie' - it does seem like an odd thing to say! But for over 25 years, Tom Weaver has been chatting up zombies and many other vintage movie monsters, along with the screenwriters, producers, directors and actors responsible for bringing them to life. In this newest compilation of interviews, 23 more veterans share their stories - strange, frightening and even a little funny - this time with an increased emphasis on genre TV series courtesy of the stars of ""The Time Tunnel""; ""Rocky Jones"", ""Space Ranger""; ""Tom Corbett"", ""Space Cadet""; ""Planet of the Apes""; and ""The Wild Wild West""."

Reviews
there is simply no movie author today with Tom s grasp of film history, let alone his skill as an interviewer...a must-have Classic Images; Tom Weaver is the king of film historians...exhaustive Starlog; Tom Weaver has enjoyed a lengthy career writing about the horror genre through his reference guides and countless magazine contributions. His interviews are thorough and informative but presented conversationally, as though he is simply visiting with an old friend. Weaver expertly guides the talk in a way that allows him to ask his questions in an informal manner, and likely he received a more detailed answer than if he had approached the subject as a journalist would horrortalk.com; Tom does his homework Little Shoppe of Horrors; Weaver strikes again with another gala collection of interviews...fascinating...highly addictive VideoScope; Weaver s books are sheer delight Cult Movies.
Tom Weaver is the king of film historians. -- Starlog Starlog
