Eye on Science Fiction: 20 Interviews with Classic Science Fiction and Horror Filmmakers

Be the first to write a review

Overview

Some discuss actors such as Lon Chaney Junior and Bela Lugosi; others discuss particular films, among them The Flesh Eaters, The Atomic Submarine, and Night of the Blood Beast; and still others muse on their careers and experience in general. The photographs from decades ago are better quality than the recent ones; so much for the march of progress. Weaver has been interviewing filmmakers since the early 1980s.

About the Book The march of the monster movie makers continues in Tom Weaver’s ninth book of in-depth interviews with the men and women who made the horror and sci-fi favorites ... of the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s. Actors (including Mike Connors, Brett Halsey, Natalie Trundy and Richard Kiel), writers, producers and directors recall legendary genre figures Lugosi, Chaney, Jr., Tod Browning and James Whale; films ranging in quality from The Thing to Macumba Love and Eegah; behind-the-scenes tales of cult TV series (Twilight Zone, Batman, Lost in Space, more) and serials; and, of course, the usual barrage of outlandish movie menaces, this time including the Fly, Flesh Eaters, Monolith Monsters, ape men, voodoo women and spider babies! And all in the candid, no-holds-barred style that has made Weaver "king of the interviewers" (Classic Images)! Read more Show Less
