Do you believe in monsters? We dare you to take a look inside this cursed tome containing some of the most iconic and obscure monsters from the history of cinema. Cower in fear of Count Dracula and his dreaded children of the night. Abandon hope as the mightiest kaiju ever seen on film decimate all around them. Pray that silhouette at the end of your bed is just a shadow and not the dreaded Babadook. Spanning nearly a century of cinematic terrors, The Ultimate Book of Movie Monsters showcases creatures from genres such as horror, fantasy, B-movies and even musicals. Along with legendary beasts like Frankenstein's monster, Godzilla, the Living Dead and the (mostly) friendly creatures of Monsters Inc., you'll find film facts, creature strengths and weaknesses and over 150 full-colour pictures of the monsters themselves. From the era of stop-motion beasties to the cinematic showdown of the century in Godzilla vs. Kong, film lovers and horror aficionados will find plenty to keep their lust for terror satiated. But beware, for the beasts that dwell within these forsaken pages may just keep you up all night. You have been warned

About the Author
Chris Carton has been a horror movie fan from far too young an age. He has always had a fascination with cinema and video games, and the monsters that inhabit those mediums. He lives in Cork, Ireland, with his wife and their own three monsters, and he hopes to pass on his discovery of all things demonic to them, though hopefully not early enough to scar them for life. He has previously written A Guide to Video Game Movies.
