Edition DescriptionAlternate
SynopsisPoverty Row Horror films were cheaply produced with writing that ranged from bad to atrocious. These essays contain full filmographic data on the 31 horror chillers made by the three studios from 1940 through 1946., Poverty row horror films were usually inexpensively (some would say cheaply) produced with writing that ranged from bad to atrocious. Yet these movies with their all-star horror casts (Carradine, Lugosi, Karloff, et al.) and their ape men, mad monsters, devil bats and white zombies still have a loyal audience 50 years after their release. Essays contain full filmographic data on the 31 horror chillers made by the three studios from 1940 through 1946 and are arranged by year of release. Each entry includes the date of release, length, production credits, cast credits, interview quotes, and a plot synopsis with critical commentary. Filmographies for prominent horror actors and actresses, from John Abbott to George Zucco, are provided in the appendices.

Fun reference... Great value... Really nice condition. Win for me.
Interesting book. Grew up on PRC and Monogram films on TV in early 50's.... Don't care for them now except as a 'historical' look back. But LOVE Republic horror films... Then and now. Found this as a good reference to seek and purchase the Republic films (dvds).....Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
