Video Description
After 25 years of devoted work Pete the make-up monster creator is to be made redundant from the film studios where he works, as the latest horror cycle is over and the studios are to start producing un-scary musicals. Understandably he is a bit upset by his treatment and he decides to take revenge on the studio bosses. Mixing a special foundation that blocks the actors pores and acts like a frontal lobotomy, he controls the Teenage Werewolf and the Teenage Frankenstein to commit his crimes and to bring the studio down!

Samuel Z. Arkoff started producing movies with his partner James Nicholson in 1954 when they set up American International Pictures and capitalised on the trend of teenagers being the main cinema audience of the time. During the late fifties studios were also becoming aware that audiences were becoming tired of movies that centred around outright monsters, so Kandel wrote How to Make a Monster to mirror this and had the main threat as a psychotic make-up artist. Will the two actors remember what they did? Will Pete be able to add the Werewolf and Frankenstein to his special collection? Will the police make the link between the killer’s monster markings and the make-up artist? Or will they carry on assuming the killer is a real monster? Find out in How to Make a Monster where the final reel is shot in glorious technicolour!

How To Make a Monster is directed by Herbert L. Strock, who crossed over into horror when taking over direction of The Magnetic Monster halfway through production.

Special Features
50 minute audio interview with Samuel Z. Arkoff, recorded in 1991 at the National Film Theatre which is accompanied by pictures taken at the time.
Nine original Theatrical Film Trailers of movies from the Arkoff Film library including: The Spider, Day The World Ended, How To Make a Monster, The She-Creature, The Brain Eaters, Voodoo Woman, The Undead, Blood Of Dracula and Reform School Girl.
