MAKING MONSTERS Book To Celebrate Hollywood’s Most Iconic Creatures

Academy Award-winning make-up effects artist Howard Berger (Army of Darkness, Jennifer's Body, Kill Bill 1 & 2, Drag Me to Hell) and acclaimed journalist Marshall Julius are celebrating monsters, monster movies and monster movie makers with a new book, Making Monsters: Inside Stories from the Creators of Hollywood's Most Iconic Creatures.

Releasing in mid September, Making Monsters explores the vast creature feature genre, featuring an array of interviews from make-up and digital effects legends (Tom Savini, Phil Tippett) to directors (John Carpenter, Ti West), actors (Simon Pegg, Barbara Crampton), composers (Michael Giacchino) and writers (Russell T Davies). The book also includes hundreds of amazing behind-the-scenes photos and several specially commissioned new art pieces.

Making Monsters also comes with a foreword by Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund, and a afterword by The Lost Boys and Freaked‘s Alex Winter. The covert art of horror icons, from Terrier's Art the Clown to Gremlins‘ Stripe comes from artist Jason Edmiston 

Berger and Julius previously teamed up for Masters of Make-Up Effects: A Century of Practical Magic, a similarly packed and cohesive history of the art form.
