Oh, wow. The top book reminds me of a monster movie book my dad owned. Growing up I DEVOURED that thing. The photos were fabulous and, as I remember, the range was great including lots of lesser known films (I remember a ‘The Fly’ sequel shot where I guy was half guinea pig or some such).

I have no idea what happened to it (though I still have his “Tolkein Bestiary”, Science Fiction A to Z and my “Spacecraft: 2000-2100”.

I used to get these from the library all the time too! What a blast from the past.

There was a Creature book. I have the same Frankenstein book, but I think from a later publication date as the back lists a lot more of the books…

a friend of mine just got the whole series at a used book sale and has been doling them out to his 5-yr old monster-loving son every so often.

we were there just last night, and he used the Dracula book as the pre-bedtime reading selection!!
