Behind the Mask of the Horror Actor

Behind the Mask of the Horror Actor

Editorial Reviews
SFX Magazine, November 2004, review by Rob Power
"..a thoroughly researched and well-written amble through the history and highlights of horror."

Book Description
Actor Doug Bradley, who portrayed the terrifying character, Pinhead, in Clive Barker's Hellraiser series of films, gives his own unique and personal guide to cinema monsters and the men who portrayed them, including Lon Chaney and Boris Karloff, and such unforgettable creatures as The Wolf Man, The Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Bradley also examines the cultural, historical and dramatic roles the mask has played throughout time, and the physical rigours the actors who play monsters must endure.

Bringing the subject up to date, he looks at modern-day monsters Leatherface (Texas Chain Saw Massacre), Freddie Krueger (Nightmare On Elm Street), Jason (Friday the 13th) and, of course, the creation of Pinhead.
