Product Description

Review
SFX Magazine, November 2004: " This is a compelling, often facinating glipse into the job of a professional scary bloke, and one that informs but never patronises the reader, mere mortals that we are. A job well done." - Rob Power.

Terrorizer #126, December 2005
The book offers a fascinating history [of] the masked screen monster in silent horror, Universal, Hammer and modern American horror.

5.0 out of 5 stars Illuminating, 13 Jul 2007
Famous for essaying the role of Pinhead in the Hellraiser series (he was credited as Lead Cenobite in the original, the fans dubbed him Pinhead and the legend was born), Doug Bradley should know a thing or two about the power of the mask and the rigeurs of acting behind the makeup. And just as Bradley himself is much more than Pinhead, this book transcends it's premise and becomes part autobiography, a history of theatre, and of the horror movie, it also takes in cave painting and shamanism.
It's well written and consistantly entertaining, Bradley knows his stuff and seems humble of his efforts in the genre, crediting his co-workers and those who came before him at all times. A fascinating read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, easy read., 2 Jul 2007
By F. Simpson (Merseyside, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a huge fan of the horror film, I found this book to be extrememly informative. It covers the history of masks, what they were used for and the people who used them, through to early film horror and the latex transformations of its stars, up to modern day cinema and embracing the slasher film and its monsters.

It was wonderful to hear inside stories from the likes of Doug Bradley and Robert Englund, including an insight into the inspiration for Freddy Kruger.

A must for horror fans, people who want to learn about the origins of the mask and fans of the hellraiser series.
