Description

In The Frightfest Guide to Monster Movies, celebrated writer, editor and critic Michael Gingold starts in the silent era and traces the history of the genre all the way through to the present day. From Universal Studios legends such as Frankenstein's Monster and the Mummy, to the big bugs, atomic mutants and space invaders that terrorized the 50s, to the kaiju of Japan and the ecological nightmares of the 70s and 80s, to the CG creatures and updated favourites of recent years - they're all here.
