Over more than six decades and 200 films, supreme movie villain
John Carradine defined the job of the character actor, running the
gamut from preacher Casey of ""The Grapes of Wrath"" to his classic
Count Dracula of ""House of Frankenstein"" and ""House of
Dracula"". But for every Prisoner of Shark Island or Jesse James,
Carradine - who also did great work on Broadway and the classical
theater (he produced, directed and starred in Hamlet) - hammed it
up in scores of ""B"" and ""C"" horror and exploitation films,
developing the while quite a reputation for scandal. Through it
all, though, he remained a survivor and a true professional.This is
the first ever work devoted exclusively to the films of John
Carradine. In addition to the comprehensive filmography, there is a
biography of Carradine (contributed by Gregory Mank), commentary on
the man by indie film director Fred Olen Ray (who helmed many
latter-day Carradine movies), and an interesting piece by director
Joe Dante, who writes about Carradine's involvement in Dante's 1981
werewolf movie ""The Howling"".
