Monster Kidding Dwight Kemper

Michael Legge, aka horror host Dr. Dreck, delves into the meaning of being a "monster kid". Kids born during the 50s and 60s are the original monster boomers, but it didn't stop there. People of all ages have come to love the classic and poverty row horror and science fiction films of a bygone era. In this book, Legge explores his own childhood, and the movies he became hooked on, both at the drive in and on TV. It was the days when you had to see a movie when it was broadcast or not at all. It was the days of numerous monster magazines feeding the addiction, aided by monster toys, games and more. Added to the book are contributions from other monster kids, both old and young, detailing how they came to be part of monster fandom. A fun, humorous read for all lovers of the weird and the wonderful.
