Absolutely gorgeous coffee table book about the heyday of Universal Monsters movies—and their often slapdash, inconsistent, yet somehow still loveable sequels.

Mallory does a great job of walking you through the initial movie and all its follow-ups, the key players, and the things and actors that changed along the way.

I'm going to have to go back and revisit my collection of Universal Monsters movies. It's been too long since I was sitting in my parents' rec room, staring wide-eyed in horror, awe, or humour at the events unfolding on our old television screen.… (mehr)

Desde la década de 1920 hasta la década de 1950, Universal Studios fue el estudio número uno de Hollywood para las imágenes de terror, con salas de cine en todo el mundo con Dracula, Frankenstein y la criatura de la Laguna Negra, entre otros. Universal Studios Monsters: A Legacy of Horror explora todos estos personajes perdurables, haciendo una crónica de la mitología detrás de las películas y ofreciendo información detrás de escena sobre cómo se crearon las películas. Universal Studios Monsters es el registro más completo de las películas de terror de este legendario estudio, con biografías de grandes personalidades que fueron responsables de los melodramas de monstruos más notables en la historia del cine. Las historias de estas películas y sus creadores se cuentan a través de entrevistas con actores sobrevivientes y empleados del estudio. Un registro fotográfico suntuoso, que incluye muchas tomas detrás de escena, completa la historia de cómo se hicieron estos clásicos. Este es un volumen del que ningún fanático del cine imaginativo querrá prescindir.… (mehr)

Good overview of Universal's history and its most famous film series. Nice coffee table book with many photographs and a great reminder (if not a great intro) to why many of us love these 70 year old movies.

I won a copy on Goodreads Firstreads and I agree with David Caldwell's review. This book has both well-developed characters and a serviceable plot. I have read a number of the non-fiction books theorizing that Shakespeare did not write Shakespeare's plays and I really enjoyed the use of that theory as part of the plot of this book. Amelia Watson is another in the smart-ladies-of-crime genre. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the first and best books in series like [b:The Beekeeper's Apprentice|91661|The Beekeeper's Apprentice (Mary Russell, #1)|Laurie R.
