I checked this book out of my local library when I was 12. I read it cover to cover and have never been the same since. It helped shaped my creative interest at a young age and opened a whole new world of goblins, vampires, zombies, and 50 foot women. This is a very detailed and thorough examination of a dying art form. Pick this up for your preteen kid and you won't be sorry. If there not a big fan of monsters, they will be.
I can't believe this book only has 4 reviews. The Encyclopedia of Monsters is a huge, oversized paperback containing an amazing amount of research into hundreds of films, books and comics from the silent era to the late 80s. It lists all the statistics of each monster, a summary of how the monster acts and functions, a summary of the film itself and then goes on to talk about that film's production, effects, behind-the-scenes-drama, and all sorts of trivia. It's truly a great book for anyone interested in monsters.
This book is awesome. It has every single monster from comics, film, books, and art. It has detailed descriptions of it all. The Perfect Horror Buff Book.
This companion piece to Rovin's Encyclopedia of Super Heroes and Encyclopedia of Super Villians is a fantastic research book with listings of monsters from comics,movies,pulps,litertature,folklore and mythology.Even a few of the monsters that have battled el Santo and other Mexiluchaheroes are mentioned here.Like the previous books this volume is loaded with illustrations.I highly recommend it.
