I have and enjoy the Pictorial History by Gifford. If someone has a scan of the cover could they post it? And finally one last question is there much of a difference between the paperback and hard cover versions of this book...... Thanks so much!!

Just don;t expect to find any revelatory text in this book. It's like a coffee table book -- brief text, lots of stills... but a very nice collection of stills. Each chapter covers a different movie monster. Aside from the ususal suspects of Frankenstein's Monster, werewolf, vampire and mummy, miscellaneous creatures are lumped under headings like "Beast" and "Brute."

The hardback version is worth getting, just to admire the larger photographs spread over two pages. The zombie rising from the grave in PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES is hard to appreciate in the paperback version, for instance. Black Hole DVD Reviews

I think I still have a copy of the book, but it's got some kind on ghost on the cover & not the wonderful cover with Kong on it.

The binding isn't that great so I'm really careful whenever I look through this one. "Some days its not worth the effort of chewing through the restraints".

Anything with Gifford's name on it has great stills, and/or lobby cards, as well as some wonderful words. Likewise any book by William K. Everson.

I love the picture from Bride of Frankenstein on the back cover. Denis Gifford wrote some of the best horror books ever to be published. I recommend this book!
