Back in the era of black-and-white horror and sci-fi movies, "we
didn't have special effects, or the money for 'em," says Peter
Graves, one of the genre's most popular stars. "But in those days,
an unlimited amount of money wouldn't have gotten us much better
special effects, because they didn't exist. We had to go with the
stories and try to make them as believable as possible, and flash
the outlandish things by quickly, so the audience never got a good,
in-focus look at them!" Perhaps no films attracted more rabid fans
and less critical acclaim than the genre movies of that era. The
men and women who made the characters come to life are interviewed
here, talking about their work, the behind-the-scenes action, and
the impact the movies had on their careers. The interviewees are
Gene Barry, Gary Clarke, Gary Conway, Merian C. Cooper, Robert Dix,
Donnie Dunagan, Alex Gordon, Peter Graves, Gary Gray, Arch Hall,
Jr., Stephen Kandel, Carolyn Kearney, Ken Kolb, Robert L. Lippert,
Jr., Jan Merlin, Mary Mitchel, Elliott Reid, Stanley Rubin, Frankie
Thomas and Burt Topper. Extensively illustrated.
