{"product_id":"9781476627762","title":"Universal Terrors, 1951-1955: Eight Classic Horror and Science Fiction Films","description":"   Universal Studios created the first cinematic universe of monsters—Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy and others became household names during the 1930s and 1940s. During the 1950s, more modern monsters were created for the Atomic Age, including one-eyed globs from outer space, mutants from the planet Metaluna, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the 100-foot high horror known as Tarantula.    This over-the-top history is the definitive retrospective on Universal’s horror and science fiction movies of 1951–1955. Standing as a sequel to Tom Weaver, Michael Brunas and John Brunas’s \u003ci\u003eUniversal Horrors\u003c\/i\u003e (Second Edition, 2007), it covers eight films: \u003ci\u003eThe Strange Door, The Black Castle, It Came from Outer Space, Creature from the Black Lagoon, This Island Earth, Revenge of the Creature, Cult of the Cobra\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTarantula\u003c\/i\u003e. Each receives a richly detailed critical analysis, day-by-day production history, interviews with filmmakers, release information, an essay on the score, and many photographs, including rare behind-the-scenes shots.","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Incorporated Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172248338672,"sku":"9781476627762","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476627762_p0.jpg?v=1763608972","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476627762","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
