Movie Monsters have been stomping across cinema screens causing panic at the box office since Georges Méliés first mastered the techniques of film-making in 1896. Denis Gifford has dug deep into dusty archives to resurrect a macabre masquerade of monsters : a Vampire of 1896, a Mummy of 1899, a Hunchback of 1906, a Mr Hyde of 1908, a Frankenstein of 1910, a Werewolf of 1913, a Zombie of 1919. Here, carefully classified into twelve different species, are all the Monsters we know and love, dissected and discussed along with their creators: Karloff the King, Lugosi the Lost, Chaney, the Man of a Thousand Faces and Chaney Junior, his Thousand and First ...
As important are the complete filmographies which list every known monster movie in each of the twelve classifications, giving year, title (both original and variations), director and stars. This unique feature alone makes Movie Monsters a valuable work of reference.


Denis Gifford is a lapsed cartoonist from the golden years of Knockout and Marvelman. A devoted researcher into show business history, he researches extensively to compile his nostalgic radio panel game, Sounds Familiar, and has produced such films as Highlight, a history of British musicals. Now a leading authority on the history of film, his first book was an all-time Who`s Who, British Cinema. He is the film critic of Movie Maker magazine, and was a judge at the first Lambeth Film Festival.
