Creature Feature Creators Softcover Book Tom Weaver

Creature Feature Creators Softcover Book Tom Weaver:

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.

Tom Weaver of Sleepy Hollow, New York, has been interviewing moviemakers for 35 years. The New York Times called him a leading scholar in the horror field and USA Today has described him as the king of the monster hunters. Classic Images said he was “the best interviewer we have today.” A frequent contributor to film magazines, he has written many books about American popular culture and is also a Blu-ray audio commentator.
