Making a Monster: The Creation of Screen Characters by the Great Makeup Artists [Over 400 illustrations]

Here is the ultimate book for horror and science fiction film cultists, a book devoted in its entirety to Hollywood's makeup men and the characters they created, from 'Frankenstein' to 'Star Wars.' This is the behind-the-scenes story of these unsung heroes of the film industry, this small fraternity of specialists and technicians whose creativity and attention to realistic detail make the illusions of the screen frighteningly complete.

Authors Al Taylor and Sue Roy have told the story of the careers of thirty of the most well known American and British film and t.v. makeup artists and supplied hundres of revealing photographs showing how they do their work, from the first plaster molds and latex facial pieces to the final highlights and shadows.
