Actor Doug Bradley, who portrays Pinhead in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser films, gives his own unique and personal guide to cinema monsters and the men who portray them, including legends Lon Chaney and Boris Karloff, and unforgettable creatures like The Wolf Man, Frankenstein’s Monster, The Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He also examines the many roles the mask has played throughout time, and the physical rigours that actors who play monsters must endure.

Coming up to date, he meets the actors behind modern-day monsters Leatherface (Texas Chain Saw Massacre), Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street), and Jason (Friday the 13th). Plus, of course, Bradley recounts the making of the Hellraiser movies in detail, revealing just what it’s like to actually be the man behind the mask...

Industry Reviews

SFX Magazine, November 2004: " This is a compelling, often facinating glipse into the job of a professional scary bloke, and one that informs but never patronises the reader, mere mortals that we are. A job well done." - Rob Power.
