Stroby also included in the book is Doug Bradley's diary while filming Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth. What do Freedy Krueger, Jason, Michael Meyers, Pinhead, Candyman, Dracula and Hannibal Lecter have in common? They have all scared the living daylights out if us and their movies have had us doubting the safety of the very theater we watch them in, even surrounded by scores of people.

If you love horror movies and want to learn more about how the Terminator could appear to pour his body through bars of steel, how 100 Gremlins could appear to be thousands, how Candyman seemed to hover over his prey before the kill, and other state-of-the-art effects, then read on.
