In the 1950s Hollywood unleashed a wave of monsters; everything
from demon aliens and dinosaurs to blobs and bloated bugs infested
theaters and drive-ins. Lost worlds were discovered, unnatural
terrors shook the screen, gigantism ran rampant. Moviegoers were
left with one question: How did they do that?
This work uncovers the cheap and challenging behind-the-scenes
production secrets of the fantastic films of the 1950s. Special
technical effects, visual effects, menacing makeup, stunts,
fantastic sets and film locations are all covered in detail along
with the many men and women who shared in these occasionally
brilliant and usually outrageous efforts. Also included is a
lengthy checklist of the prominent makeup, stunt, prop and effects
artists of the era, with a listing of their fantastic film
credits.
