About the Author

Michael H. Price originated the Forgotten Horrors film-book series in 1979 with George E. Turner (1925-1999), ace movie historian and special-effects/storyboard artisan -- seeking to bring recognition to the indie-studio thrillers of the Depression years. The series has now expanded to five volumes, covering additionally the WWII and postwar years, and now the rise of science fiction as an off-Hollywood commodity during 1949-1954. Joining in are genre historians John Wooley, biographer of horror-filmmaker Wes Craven, and Jan Alan Henderson, biographer of the special-effects pioneers Howard and Theodore Lydecker.
