The Classic SCI-FI FILMBOOK - First Edition Hardcover

They are classics of science fiction. The chillers and thrillers made during the remarkable years following the second world war. The era when the world was shaken from its adolescence and abruptly thrust into the atomic age.

While modern films have elevated the art of special effects to undreamt of artistry, the classics of the 1950s have left a legacy unmatched by any other era in film history. They represent a time of innocence and awakening, and they celebrate an era of teenagers, Friday night shock fests and drive-in theaters.

For sci-fi aficionados of all ages, Ray Ferry -- editor of Freaky Monsters magazine and the second run of FMOF -- compiled this special portfolio edition which highlights over 70 delicious moments from over 40 of the most loved classics of science fiction and fantasy ever filmed. Each photograph has been painstakingly digitally restored, allowing the viewer to delight in the richness of design and depth of the images.

The Classic Sci-Fi Filmbook is a celebration of the weird and wonderful pioneering days of science fiction films... the days when malevolent mad geniuses and hordes of alien invaders from other worlds meant hours of screen excitement for teens and adults at movies and drive-in theaters all across the country. So grab your trusty ray gun and join us on a wondrous journey back through the days of futures past... the classic days of science fiction and fantasy!
