Making Monsters – Author Marshall Julius takes us behind the scenes of movie monsters

Who doesn’t love monsters as a child? Interestingly, many of Hollywood’s leading special effects makeup artists were ‘monster kids’ themselves, turning a childhood passion into the incredible creatures we see in movies. “Making Monsters,” co-authored by Marshall Julius and Academy Award-winning makeup designer Howard Berger, builds on their previous successful book, “Masters of Movie Make Up.”

This impressive coffee table book is filled with amazing, previously unpublished behind-the-scenes photos. It features interviews with leading makeup designers, directors, and other industry greats, discussing what inspired them and showcasing their favorite creature designs. It’s a truly captivating look at the creative process and well worth the purchase.

We had a fascinating conversation with Marshall, covering everything from surprising stories about John Carpenter to which movie Joe Dante dislikes, the film Rick Baker (a seven-time Oscar winner) feels strongly about, and a lot of other interesting details.
