REVIEW FROM AMAZON.COM BY Alan Brooks of Trollenberg, Switzerland
This book is amazing! I grew up after the monster boom of the 1950's that took place on the big screen and discovered gems like "The Thing", "Fiend Without a Face" "Creature from the Black Lagoon", "Rodan" and others on TV shows like "Creature Double Feature" and 'Science Fiction Theater" in the early 70's. I always wondered what it was like growing up in the 1950's and seeing a new monster movie every week as a double feature or an all day event on the big screen. Barry Atkinson paints a wonderful picture what it was like being able to see "Them!" "The Crawling Eye", "Tarantula" and other 1950's classics as audiences dicovered them for the first time and children schemed to see next week's monster movie. You need to buy two copies of this book if your life still revolves around these classic monster movies. One to keep on display in your collection on the shelf and one that you will wear out reading over and over again.in!
