Overview

"In the horror movie heyday of Universal Pictures, he made the studio back lot his own personal preyground: Rondo Hatton, star of the company's ""Creeper"" series. The victim of a disfiguring disease, Hatton needed no makeup to play the Creeper, a night-prowling vertebrae-ker, in The Pearl of Death (1944), House of Horrors (1946) and The Brute Man (1946).

This book tells Hatton's full story and pays tribute with a full biography, the production histories of his five horror movies, artist George Chastain's tribute to other ""Brute Men"" of the movies, artwork (and an afterword) by celebrated pop culture cartoonist Drew Friedman and more.
