Work Description

This companion to the documentary of the same name features hundreds of photos and interviews with cast and crew members from the 1985 film and 1988 sequel. Reads like an extended version of the 3 1/2 hour documentary, arranged in a similar manner, with additional photos and stories. Most of the excerpts are quoted from the original interview sessions for the documentary, however, remarks by the late Roddy McDowall and others are supplemented from vintage materials to help to flesh out the story.

The original pressing was limited to 1000 individually numbered/signed copies by author Neil Morris.
