Description de l'ouvrage :
Twenty-eight terrific interviews with some of the sharpest and most talkative stars and movie makers of the classic (and c-r-a-z-y!) SF and horror films of the past: Richard Matheson, Janet Leigh, Acquanetta, Hazel Court, Kim Hunter and others reminisce at length and with great good humor about their days on the sets of Psycho, Planet of the Apes, Superman; the Poe, Hammer and Lewton films, and exploitation greats like Attack of the 50 Foot Woman.
À propos de l'auteur :

A frequent DVD audio commentator, he is the author of numerous reference and other nonfiction books about American popular culture.
Revue de Presse :
"fabulous…Weaver has brought together so many interviews of key figures…I literally can’t name them all"—Cornerstone Magazine; "candid…a must"—ARBA; "Tom Weaver has enjoyed a lengthy career writing about the horror genre through his reference guides and countless magazine contributions. His interviews are thorough and informative but presented conversationally, as though he is simply visiting with an old friend. Weaver expertly guides the talk in a way that allows him to ask his questions in an informal manner, and likely he received a more detailed answer than if he had approached the subject as a journalist would"—horrortalk.com; "fascinating"—VOYA; "this one is informative…greatly nostalgic"—Library Journal.
