Sinopsis

THE FOLLOW-UP TO THE 2023 RONDO AWARD NOMINATED 'GIANT BUG CINEMA'áFrom the creators Giant Bug Cinema - A Monster KidâÇÖs Guide, which reached Number 1 on Amazon for Horror Movie Books, comes the followup, Giant Beast Cinema - A Monstrous Movie Guide - a celebration of creatures (other than bugs) that are beasts because they simply arenâÇÖt supposed to be THAT BIG! áFeaturing sharp, witty, and informed reviews of 33 movies by six exceptional voices on genre cinema, take a cinematic hot rod through the screen-scape of giant apes, betrayed women, six-legged octopi, teenagers, crabs, and mollusks, to name a few of the featured giant beasts.áThe contributors are: áâÇóáááLarry Blamire - film historian and cult filmmaker of SonyâÇÖs The Lost Skeleton of CadavraâÇóáááJustin Humphreys - Rondo Award-winning The Doctor Phibes Companion, George Pal: Man of TomorrowâÇóáááTracy Mercer - Host, My Favorite Shtty Movie podcastâÇóáááMike Peros - José Ferrer: Success and Survival, Dan Duryea: Heel with a Heart, film critic for Noho Arts DistrictâÇóáááSteven Peros - Giant Bug Cinema, film historian, screenwriter of Peter BogdanovichâÇÖs The CatâÇÖs MeowâÇóáááBrian R. Solomon - Godzilla FAQáEach chapter contains the unique voice, vast memory bank, and idiosyncratic sense of humor of its distinctly mad author.áThese are all movies you may have watched many times and yet each one of these writers will make you see them in a way you had not seen them before.ááAs with Giant Bug Cinema, the book explores this arena up until the accepted end of the 'Monster Kid Era' - 1968 (although we did sneak in one worthy retro entry from 1969 because it was too enjoyable to resist).áBut rest assured, plans are afoot to bring our readers second volumes of both Giant Bug Cinema and Giant Beast Cinema, which will take readers into the gonzo 1970âÇÖs, 1980âÇÖs and beyond.áááYou will step way from Giant Beast Cinema with a new level of appreciation for giant beasts you only thought you knew.ááBut then again, can one ever really know a killer shrew?
