There was a big oversize hardcover book at the library when I was growing up called "Hollywood Horror: Gothic to Cosmic" that I would check out all the time because it had all these crisp photos from these old monster movies. Good times.
I am a big fan of the gorgeous black and white photograpy. I am sure I saw the book you mentioned because I was a real library rat as a kid and would have been drawn to that kind of book.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Same here. Its probably why I'm such a classic movie junkie. Horror pictures especially have that great contrast and heavy shadows.
The Invisible Man was one snappy dresser.
He really worked that smoking jacket, didn't he?
But is anyone doing the Monster Mash?
Of course. It's expected.
