by Ted A. Bohus (Author)

Hi, I'm a film director / writer / producer and publisher. I've published SPFX (Special Effects Magazine) since 1976. Over the past 45 years I've been collecting candid, behind the scenes photos from science-fiction and horror films.I figured it's time to put some of this collection in a few books. I also have many interviews and articles with our favorite actors and filmmakers.

In this volume you'll find an interview with stop motion pioneer Ray Harryhausen and an article on Making The War of the Worlds by George Pal. Also interviews with actors Ben Chapman (Creature From the Black Lagoon) and Kenneth Tobey (The Thing From Another World). You'll find many, many behind-the-scenes photos from many of your favorite sci-fi, horror and fantasy films. Forbidden Planet, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Fly, Destination Moon, The Time Machine, This Island Earth, King Kong, Mighty Joe Young, Them!, The Birds, Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy....and many, many more! So, now it's time to travel back in time with me and check out some of your favorite monsters in a way you've never seen them before.
