Renowned Hollywood filmmaker John Landis (American Werewolf in London, Michael Jackson's Thriller) presents his personal celebration of the greatest monsters in horror, sci-fi and fantasy movie history. With characteristic verve, wit, and honesty, Landis explores the timeless appeal of vampires, zombies, werewolves, ghosts, mythical beasts, and archetypal monstrous villains, such as Godzilla, Dracula, Frankenstein, King Kong, and Jack the Ripper. Landis also converses with leading directors John Carpenter, Sam Raimi, David Cronenberg, Guillermo Del Toro, and Joe Dante, special effects wizards Ray Harryhausen and Rick Baker, and the esteemed actor Christopher Lee, exploring their love for and fascination with movie monsters of all types, shapes and sizes.
Superbly illustrated throughout with original stills, posters and artefacts from the extensive archives of The Kobal Collection and packed with the author's fascinating and entertaining insights, John Landis' Monsters in the Movies will open your eyes to a spectacular world of horror films - some classics, some quirky, some forgotten, some hilarious, some disturbing...and some unforgettably crazy!
