How to Make a Monster1958
“See the Ghastly Ghouls in Flaming Color!”
Directed by Herbert L. Strock
The premise
When master monster make-up man Pete Dumond is fired by the new bosses of American International studios, he uses his creations to exact revenge.
Horror Vault's take
When a veteran Hollywood make-up artist is pushed out by the new suits running his studio, he refuses to go quietly — using his monstrous creations and the dark art of hypnosis to settle the score. A loving yet unsettling tribute to the golden age of monster movies, the film blurs the line between the monsters on screen and the ones pulling the strings behind the camera. It's part behind-the-scenes Hollywood expose, part creature feature, with a mean streak running through its greasepaint heart.
