This work profiles a stellar lineup of talented, versatile character actors who regularly appeared in horror and science fiction films during Hollywood's golden age.

Carroll Naish, Maria Ouspenskaya, Glenn Strange, Edward Van Sloan, and George Zucco. Also featured are performers not so well known but equally at home in the horror and science fiction field, such as Anthony Carbone, Harry Cording, Rosemary La Planche, Dick Purcell, Elizabeth Russell and Mel Welles. A chapter is devoted to each, complete with a biography and in-depth analyses of his or her best performances, and together demonstrating how important these personalities were to the success of their genre films with audiences and critics alike.
