Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two Plays About Horror Icons!THE LAST MONSTERS: With Boris Karloff having abandoned the genre for Broadway, the last of the cinema's great horror stars - Lon Chaney, Jr., Bela Lugosi and John Carradine - gathered together in 1956 to appear in what would be a final gesture to the classic fright films of the 1930s and 40s, a low budget effort, THE BLACK SLEEP. Between them, these three icons had played Count Dracula, the Frankenstein Monster, the Mummy and The Wolf Man, as well as a collection of mad scientists and their victims. Now, as this trio waits on the set to act out their brief, secondary roles, old resentments, personal frustrations and insecurities rise to surface, wreaking havoc on a troubled picture that is already behind schedule. THE LAST MONSTERS is a probing look at the "dark," personal lives of three men who scared us as children and now remain in our nightmares. 4 men. 1 woman; single set.CHRISTOPHER LEE: Christopher Lee's film career spanned seven decades.He played "Scaramanga," the lead villain in the James Bond film, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN... "Count Dooku" in the STAR WARS prequels...and "Saruman" in THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy.Yet, despite his chagrin, perhaps Lee's most memorable role was the one that first brought him international fame, "Count Dracula". Over a period of years, he not only played the blood-sucking Count in ten films, but he also found time to play the Frankenstein Monster and The Mummy, among other creepy characters.Perhaps these roles were enhanced by the nightmares her witnessed during World War II?CHRISTOPHER LEE, a One-Person Play by Michael B. Druxman (Lee's one-time publicist), joins the actor in 1976, as he is about to depart his home in England for the United States. It is his hope that, in America, he will be able to abandon the horror genre, and find a greater variety of roles.1 actor. 1 simple se

Book excerpt: The name Christopher Lee was for many years synonymous with the best in screen horror. His Count Dracula remains unrivaled and his performances in classics like The Mummy, The Face of Fu Manchu, and The Wicker Man are just as striking. But Lee's film and television credits outnumber those of many other stars, and stretch well beyond the confines of Hammer Horror. Jonathan Rigby, author of American Gothic and English Gothic, chronicles Lee's entire career, including his starring role as James Bond's nemesis in The Man With the Golden Gun and his recent appearances in The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars trilogies. Compiled with the cooperation of Christopher Lee, and featuring a foreword by Star Wars creator George Lucas enthusiastically commemorating Lee as "breathing life into every character he plays," this is the definitive guide to one of cinema's last true legends.
