Landis's characteristic exuberance pours across every page captured in about 1000 exclamation points. This entire book really does read like a love letter from a fanboy. Landis hasn't made a lot of monster movies, but what makes him the perfect person to put together a book like this is two-fold: 1) he's a screaming fanboy for the genre and 2) he's best friends with a lot of the directors - and more significantly, special effects masters, who make the monsters come to life. He's also famous for Animal House and The Blues Brothers (and a plethora of cheesy stinkers that I won't mention here). ![]() Landis, who wrote and directed one of my favorite movies of all time - An American Werewolf in London. I have a bit of fangirl squee going on for Mr. How could I resist a behemoth, colorful coffee table book about cinematic monsters put together by the legendary John Landis?
