Following their hugely successful Masters of Make-Up Effects, Oscar-winning make-up effects artist Howard Berger and veteran film journalist Marshall Julius emerge from the shadows to continue their Hollywood Monsters odyssey with their next book, Making Monsters, an oral history of the monsters who made us and the magicians who made them.
In a spellbinding, devilishly detailed compendium of never-before-seen photographs and candid recollections from more than 80 film and television visionaries, Making Monsters pries open the crypt to expose the twisted geniuses that dreamed the nightmares, the hands that stitched the beasts, and the blood-bound Monster Kid community determined to keep the flame alive.
With a welcome from dream demon Robert Englund and a final word from Lost Boys Alex Winter, along with wicked original art by Jason Edmiston, Graham Humphreys, Mark Tavares and Terry Wolfinger, Hollywood’s most iconic creatures come to life as Berger and Julius forge craft with camaraderie, inviting readers onto the set and behind the scenes.

Glitz, Glamour, Gorgeous: Revisiting Hollywood with Greg Schreiner
Appearing for the first time in the Chicago area is a uniquely curated tribute to the timeless glamour of Hollywood’s golden age — and the wardrobes that defined it. With screen-worn costumes that span classic and contemporary film history from 1939 to 2005, Glitz, Glamour, Gorgeous: A Tribute to Hollywood Movie Costumes at the Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin, Illinois, offers an up-close look at the fashion that helped shape some of cinema’s iconic moments. From Elizabeth Taylor’s regal ensemble in Cleopatra to Bette Davis’ off-the-shoulder gown in All About Eve and pieces worn by former Film Review contributors Doris Day, Gregory Peck, Lana Turner, and Betty Grable, Glitz-Glamour-Gorgeous showcases 33 screen-worn costumes representing important designers like Adrian, Edith Head, Orry-Kelly, Walter Plunkett, Helen Rose, Irene Sharaff, and William Travilla. The treasures come from the private collection of Greg Schreiner — a renowned pianist, producer, and lifelong collector of Hollywood memorabilia. Schreiner is the president and a founding member of Marilyn Remembered, the longest-running fan club devoted to continuing the legacy of Marilyn Monroe. Schreiner has spent decades preserving the garments that helped define the golden age of cinema. His passion evolved into Hollywood Revisited, a travelling stage production in which several of the costumes in his collection come to life through performance and music.
