Absolutely gorgeous coffee table book about the heyday of Universal Monsters movies—and their often slapdash, inconsistent, yet somehow still loveable sequels.

Mallory does a great job of walking you through the initial movie and all its follow-ups, the key players, and the things and actors that changed along the way.

I'm going to have to go back and revisit my collection of Universal Monsters movies. It's been too long since I was sitting in my parents' rec room, staring wide-eyed in horror, awe, or humour at the events unfolding on our old television screen.… (altro)

One of those books I've looked at a ton of times, but never actually read. Comes to find out there isn't much reading in this book. This is more of an art book than anything else. You get a brief history on the two founders and some information about various shows. This is great book to look at if you are a fan of cartoons. There are so many things to look at. Last night was seeing stuff I clearly didn't notice before. Not sure if this is available anymore. It's already semi-dated since it ends with the founding of Carton Network. I kind of want more of a biography on Hanna-Barbera now.… (altro)

Desde la década de 1920 hasta la década de 1950, Universal Studios fue el estudio número uno de Hollywood para las imágenes de terror, con salas de cine en todo el mundo con Dracula, Frankenstein y la criatura de la Laguna Negra, entre otros. Universal Studios Monsters: A Legacy of Horror explora todos estos personajes perdurables, haciendo una crónica de la mitología detrás de las películas y ofreciendo información detrás de escena sobre cómo se crearon las películas. Universal Studios Monsters es el registro más completo de las películas de terror de este legendario estudio, con biografías de grandes personalidades que fueron responsables de los melodramas de monstruos más notables en la historia del cine. Las historias de estas películas y sus creadores se cuentan a través de entrevistas con actores sobrevivientes y empleados del estudio. Un registro fotográfico suntuoso, que incluye muchas tomas detrás de escena, completa la historia de cómo se hicieron estos clásicos. Este es un volumen del que ningún fanático del cine imaginativo querrá prescindir.… (altro)

Good overview of Universal's history and its most famous film series. Nice coffee table book with many photographs and a great reminder (if not a great intro) to why many of us love these 70 year old movies.
