How to Make a Monster

Herbert Strock’s How to make a Monster is one of the gems of 1950’s B-horror in that it readily stands beside Roger Corman’s better works during the period. Not only does he present an intriguing plot involving movie making, decades before postmodern reflectivity...

Like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, Jaume Collet-Serra’s House of Wax shares the name of André De Toth’s 1953 film though it houses few plot similarities, while the latter is a literal remake of a 1933 film by Michael Curtiz, Mystery of the Wax Museum, despite the...
