Περίληψη

Since before the turn of the last century, horrific creatures of imagination have stomped, slithered, smashed and savaged their terrible way through the movie theatre, leaving a trail of happy - if briefly terrified - victims slumped in their seats. In this book that most evil yet sexually attractive of screen monsters, the vampire, is giving a new transfusion. Early vampire films are discussed, illustrated with rare stills from archives, and the careers of the two greatest screen vampires - Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee - are treated in depth. Then come some real monstrous delights both man-made (The Fly, Frankenstein's Creature...) and men-transformed into monsters (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Mummy...) and the immortals (The Hunchback of Notre Dame, King Kong...) and some unwelcome visitors from outer space.
