Synopsis
For Monster Squad: Celebrating the Artists Behind Cinema's Most Memorable Creatures, journalist Heather Wixson turns the spotlight on twenty special effects pioneers and artists who helped shape the landscape of modern horror and sci-fi cinema throughout the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and beyond. Featuring in-depth interviews with the legendary and visionary creators who share their personal journeys through Hollywood, Monster Squad is a tribute to those who toiled endlessly to helpmake the impossible possible in so many of our favorite movies, and to all the "Monster Kids" out there who still believe in the magic of practical effects in film to this very day. Featuring several hundred behind-the-scenes photos, and crafted from over 75 hours of interviews, Monster Squad includes comprehensive discussions with Jennifer Aspinall, Gabe Bartalos, Mich le Burke, John Dykstra, Mike Elizalde, Tony Gardner, Alec Gillis, John Goodwin, Kevin Haney, Steve Johnson, Bob Keen, Rick Lazzarini, David Mart , Todd Masters, Bart Mixon, John Rosengrant, Phil Tippett, Brian Wade, Steve Wang, and Tom Woodruff, Jr. About the Author: Heather A.

    Seller was communicative, and very helpful. The packaging was excellent since there was no damage to the products inside. They were kept in very protective condition, so I am truly thankful for that! Posters were as described. No hidden damage or anything along those lines. The description was very accurate as well. Shipping was great as well. I am very satisfied and I would definitely recommend this seller.

    Better watch out for FedEx this holiday season, already having issues. In my case no updating of tracking info on my package, so it's not looking good for Xmas deliveries. Anyway, everything just as described, extremely well packaged for the circuitous route traveled, got this kit at a decent price( even with tracking issue). Thx, DR
