From Booklist
Weaver interviews 22 cheap monster-movie vets, the likes of Phil Brown, star of I Wanted Wings (1941), who later played Luke Skywalker's Uncle Owen in Star Wars and who recalls working in Weird Woman and other '40s fear fests with Lon Chaney Jr. Maureen O'Sullivan recalls tree-top days with Johnny Weissmuller, playing Jane to his Tarzan and meeting Edgar Rice Burroughs, but not her recently rediscovered nude swimming sequence in some Ape Man epic. Ray Walston recollects his turn as TV's My Favorite Martian, his Emmy-winning tenure on the Picket Fences , and Bela Lugosi's drinking, acting tips, and pronouncement that Walston was "the best Renfield I've ever had." Best of show is the talk with Candace Hilligoss, star of the delectably grim low-budget gem Carnival of Souls (1962). She reports wanting to mount a sequel to Herk Harvey's prototypical cult classic but having the project stolen and eventually made into a flaccid 1989 flicker.

Featuring Phil (Luke Skywalker's uncle) Brown...Booth (Planet of the Apes) Coleman...Faith (This Island Earth) Domergue...Michael (Viking Women) Forest...Nelson (The Haunting screenwriter) Gidding...Anne (The Magic Sword) Helm....Candace (Carnival of Souls) Hillgoss...Michael (Navy vs. Night Monsters writer-director) Hoey...John (Pit and the Pendulum) Kerr...Phyllis (House of Wax) Kirk...Suzanna (The Lost Continent) Leigh...Yvonne (Teenage Werewolf) Lime...Norman (actor, Alfred Hitchcock Presents producer) Lloyd...Maureen (Tarzan) O'Sullivan...Paul (House of Wax) Picerni...Anthony (Incubus producer) Taylor...Shirley Ulmer...Ray (My Favorite Martian) Walston...Joan (Them) Weldon...June (Macumba Love) Wilkinson...William Read Woodfield...and Dana (Invasion of the Body Snatchers) Wynter.In this welcome addition to the Tom Weaver library of compilations of interviews with makers of sicence fiction and horror movies and TV shows, we have another collection of long-remembered stars and producers and writers, from House of Wax romantic lead Paul Picerni (later second-billed on The Untouchables series) to the elegant English actress Dana Wynter.Ray Walston talks about his performances with Bela Lugosi in one of the Hungarian actor's many stage revivals of Dracula, playing Renfield and how Lugosi falsely claimed to him he was going to be forced by contract to do Frankenstein so he went out and himself found Boris Karloff to do it instead.Norman Lloyd, veteran of Orson Welles movies and proflic actor, goes into depth about producing Alfred Hitchcock Presents on TV.Anthony Taylor describes how he shot Incubus in the obscure artifical language, Esperanto, because he wanted to get the feel of a foreign film.Shirley Ulmer, daughter of director Edgar Ulmer, describes how John Carradine, hiding out from an ex-wife looking for alimony, stayed with her family for awhile, which turned out to be quite awhile, and it was great.Joan Weldon talks about how she was only 20 years old, but had to play a more mature scientist in her role in the giant ant movie, Them, first and best of the giant insect features.Another oustanding compilation from Tom Weaver.
Tom Weaver proves again why he is one of the most knowledgeable people in the business when if comes to genre films with "I Was a Monster Movie Maker". In this book Weaver presents 22 interviews with Sci-Fi and Monster movie makers both behind and in front of the camera. While a fan, Weaver's interviews are never "fannish" in nature. He not only knows the talent but knows their work, often times, it seems, better than the subject themselves.Phil Brown is best known as Uncle Owen from Star Wars, but did his first film back in 1941. Brown admits to taking the Star Wars role because "it was a job" and he had no idea what it was about, although he says George Lucas' genius was evident from the beginning. It's also interesting that Brown did a move (The Weird Woman) with Lon Chaney Jr. back in the 1940's. While he fondly recalls Chaney, he never joined him in his morning "spirits".Candace Hilligoss discusses her role in one of the most atmospheric and underrated low-budget horror, "Carnival of Souls", and how she was forced out of the eventual remake even though it was largely her idea. She would eventually be offered a cameo but turned it down.One of the best interviews was with Maureen O' Sullivan, best known as playing Jane in a number of Tarzan films. Still sharp as a tack, she relates a number of amusing anecdotes about playing Jane including stories about the skimpy jungle outfit and how she refused to do a nude scene in a silhouette. She also said that despite the rumors, there was never a romance between she and Tarzan co-star Johnny Weismuller.Another fantastic interview was with Ray Walston. Walston played Uncle Martin in the hit 1960's series "My Favorite Martian" but many people probably don't know that he played Renfield in the Broadway stage version of Dracula with Bela Lugosi. Walston has some wonderful stories about being out on the town drinking with Lugosi, who, ever frugal, would bring his own flask of scotch. Walston was positively ecstatic to relate how Lugosi told him he was the best Renfield he had ever had. High praise indeed!Shirley Ulmer also has some interesting stories about Lugosi from the set of "The Black Cat" where her husband Edgar was the director. She talks about the tension between Lugosi and Karloff and the grueling 16 hour days of filming to get the picture done on time.Other interviews include Dana Wynter from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", Yvonne Lime from "I was a Teenage Werewolf", Phyllis Kirk from "The House of Wax" and Michael Hoey, the Director of legendary "B" film "The Navy Vs. the Night Monsters." This is another outstanding effort from Weaver and a first rate production by McFarland Books.Reviewed by Tim Janson
