Volume 2 - 1st printing. "What Music They Make!"

By Jim Gresham.

Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, and The Wolf Man are probably the most recognizable monsters in cinema history. These monsters are the icons of Horror. Children of the Night presented the first comprehensive collection of posters for these titles and many other horror titles of the 1920s to the 1940s. What Music They Make completes the project, filling in over 1500 additional horror poster images from that time period. Most are completely new images on over 300 pages, and the book contains posters and images not seen in decades with an emphasis on complete lobby card sets, as well as wonderful posters not pictured in Children.

Hardcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 320 pages, full color. Cover price $129.99.

(W) Larry Hama (A) Mike Mayhew & Various (CA) Michael Golden Continuing an all-new 3-issue series of the legendary EC comic, that's guilty of committing HORROR with intent to THRILL! Special Guest Writer/Editor Larry Hama spins a trio of terror-tales designed for MAXIMUM IMPACT! For example, 'Omniphage,' Baby Benjamin eats everything. Literally. He devours his bassinette, his rattle and his bottle. Mom and dad don't know what to do! They call in scientists who study Benjamin, but they can't figure anything out. How does he do it? How does he masticate stone and steel and glass with just his baby teeth? And he's growing! Soon, he's too big to fit in his room. They have to build a special area for him in aircraft hangar, and transport him there on the kind of tractor trailer they use to move houses in. He is getting bigger and bigger all the time. They have to truck in entire cows for him to devour whole. A mathematician figures out that the growth is exponential. Within two weeks, he will be capable of eating half the world. Well, we could reveal more, but then we'd risk ruining the SHOCK ENDING! Just rest assured that The Crypt-Keeper, The Old Witch, and The Vault-Keeper have even more frightful stories to share!

Text by G.H. Janus.

Classic Italian film poster art is renowned as being among the most accomplished, creative and dynamic of its kind. From the post-war period through to the 1980s, Italian artists consistently produced posters with sumptuously stunning designs and imagery, not least in the horror and exploitation genres, for which compositions almost invariably included curvaceous female figures in jeopardy, juxtaposed with the iconography of fantasy and terror. Voluptuous Terrors 2 collects 120 film posters by a wide range of acclaimed Italian artists, created for both indigenous and foreign-language film productions. Classic exploitation, pulp horror, and giallo movies all figure in full-color, full-page reproductions.
