From the 1920s through the 1950s, Universal Studios was Hollywood's number one studio for horror pictures, haunting movie theatres worldwide with the likes of Quasimodo, The Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Mummy and The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Universal Studios Monsters is a lavishly illustrated book that explores all of these enduring characters and film series, chronicling both the mythology behind the films and offering behind-the-scenes insights into how the films were created. With chapters covering each of the major and minor film series, the pages of this deluxe edition are punctuated with insert biographies of the major personalities who were responsible for the most notable monster melodramas in film history. Universal Studios Monsters is designed to give any reader interested in monster movies, or movies in general, a one-stop shopping look at one of the cinema's most enduring genres, through the perspective of the studio that made many of the greatest horror films of all time. The stories of these films and their creators are told through interviews with the surviving actors and studio employees and their families, as well as through the printed record. A lavish photographic record, including many illustrative behind-the-scenes shots, will complete the story of how these classic movies came to be made and how they have endured through the decades. Universal Studios Monsters is the most complete record of the horror films of this legendary studio. Certainly it is a volume no fan of imaginative cinema can afford to be without.
