4.9/5 (30963 ratings)

Description:British author Barry Atkinson (You’re Not Old Enough Son; Indie Horrors!) plunges us into a cinematic world dominated by the atomic bomb and presents us with a buffet of delights, from the rare to the unusual. Although the classics get a deserved mention, the author concentrates mainly on the neglected lesser titles, many not seen for decades, giving them a much-needed public airing. Readers will indulge in chapters devoted to: -Key actors, companies, directors and composers! -Comparisons between Japanese monster movies and their Americanized counterparts! -Scarce, unseen American, British and foreign horror, sci-fi, fantasy features! -Stone Age women of the “B” variety! -A couple of out-and-out schlock classics! -The Abominable Snowman in the 1950s! -A reappraisal of much-maligned, but much-loved, guilty pleasures! -Toho’s forgotten monsters! -Dr. Jekyll’s evil offspring! -British science fiction and noir thrillers of the ’50s! -Jungle Jim! -Chaney, Karloff and Lugosi in the 1950s! -Best entrant in Universal’s Creature trilogy! -Does colorization enhance a black-and-white favorite? -How do monster special effects rate before CGI? -Do Regal International’s widescreen program fillers really add up to that much? -Which scenes constitute the decade’s most memorable fantasy moments? -Does dialogue matter? -What impact did New Age science have on the vampire and werewolf myths of old? All this and much, much more in a fresh evaluation of what most fans and critics now recognize as the pivotal decade for horror, sci-fi and fantasy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
