Beasts and Beauties: Cinema’s Golden Age of Gorilla Men, Killer Apes & Missing Links

An Illustrated Filmography 1908-1949. “Usually portrayed by actors in costumes or heavy prostethics, early cinema’s killer apes were soon joined by rampaging gorillas… and even a rising crop of ape-human hybrids. While the first examples of these engineered anomolies tended to be the subject of absurdist comedies, later films would posit them as murderous haunters of the shadows.” B&W photos throughout. 160pp, softcover. Published 2023 by Deicide Press; new. [YA3]
