by Frank Dietz (Author), Kirk R. Thatcher (Foreword by)

Fighting zombies and mosquitoes with Adam West. Hurling rubber squid demons at a Canadian metal-banger. Incurring the wrath of Jerry Lewis. Gagging on spaghetti sauce in a ghoul costume. Getting naked with a strange woman on a film set. Losing a knife fight with James Hong. Animating flying horses, gorillas, and dancing penguins. Re-writing Pamela Anderson. Walking the undead through the streets of downtown Pasadena. Battling the Thing from another world. All these stories, and many more, are included in Frank Dietz's memoir of a kid who dreamed of making monsters... and ended up starring in some of the most notorious horror films in cult cinema history. Frank relates often hilarious memories of making movies like ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE, BLACK ROSES and ROCK N' ROLL NIGHTMARE. His journey is filled with equal parts disappointment and triumph, as an actor, screenwriter, animator, and producer in the wild world of Hollywood moviemaking.
