Have we got a treat in the stacks for you today! If you're a monster kid
of a certain age, this will probably be a nostalgia trip. Even if you haven't
seen this particular book before, you likely checked one out just like it from
your local library.
I originally got this from the now defunct Retrospace.
You can view that original post here.
Monster lovers, this Scholastic book has got you covered! The first 28 pages
talk about Lon Chaney, Universal Monsters, and even Blacula and Young
Frankenstein!
The next 33 pages give instructions for recreating your own monster make ups.
The last section has a short stage play and some special effect tricks.

I used to read that over and over again, in elementary school. Gateway book.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't quite into monsters yet when this came out. I was either still on knights & wizards or getting into Star Wars.
DeleteI love this book. So much, I stole it. Seriously. In 2nd grade. I'm not proud of it. Story here: https://garagesalin.blogspot.com/2018/10/movie-monsters.html
ReplyDeleteWell, you can take a copy from this library and keep it :D
DeleteOh, and man I miss Retrospace. PANCAKES!
