"Good acting, smart writing and competent direction ... an exemplary example of what the genre could do" – The Telltale Mind

Go behind the scenes of moviedom's most popular teen monster movies … and you'll discover a tale of monstrous vengeance! Following the success of two 1957 classics, I Was A Teenage Werewolf and I Was A Teenage Frankenstein, How To Make A Monster takes you backstage, where a frustrated artist spawns his own twisted scheme for murder. When the movie studio moguls decide they'd rather make musicals instead of horror films, their veteran horror makeup artist loses his job. He decides to get revenge against the executives by turning the studio's teenage horror stars into zombified killers. On the way to its eye-popping ending, How To Make A Monster delivers "a fun twist ... [and] getting there was not only delightful, but gratifying" (The Telltale Mind)!

Shatter! is one of those movies I should like but I never got Stuart Whitman as an action man type.

Always been fond of the Mutations, mainly because of Tom Baker being in it, it's also just this perfectly dreary movie that only England in the 1970s could have made. Curious to see this new edition.

What amazing poster art for Lost Continent! And what unusually bland poster art for Captain Kronos!

I know Mark...all of his stuff is hand drawn and painted. Although some of it is done digitally, and some is traditional paint and brush.

He says it depends on the deadline. Obviously anyone who knows me knows I prefer traditional art over digital any day. Digital, no how matter well rendered just has an artificial quality to it I don't like.

Thanks for the clarification, all I can say is, when he has the proper time, he makes striking art.

Some of his stuff is really great, other pieces do look like manipulated photos, I obviously could be wrong.

^I'm still a little fuzzy on them myself. I do think the original poster are often more striking and era-appropriate, no matter the talent of the newer artists.

There cover art is kind of deceptive. I thought it was digitally manipulated photos, but apparently they are the work of a painter named Mark Maddox.

It's my FIRST Frankenstein movie (oddly it played on Christmas day), I kind of thought it was Karloff as a kid. So obviously, I have more love than others for it.

I gotta admit though, Scream Factory doesn't spend much on the cover art. I'd prefer the original poster to that.
