Although timely published to make the most of the dinosaur craze, this is a comprehensive listing of 80 years of Stone Age beasties, rubber-clad mammals, Abominable Snowmen and many other filmdom creatures. Listed in handy chronological order, each film is given a rating, five dinosaurs is a masterpiece while some only receive 1/2 a dinosaur for effort. Among the celebrated classics are The Lost World (1925), The Creature From the Black Lagoon and King Kong (1933) although there are plenty of low budget creature features on offer accompanied by many colour theatrical posters and lobby cards. Amongst the lesser known releases I was impressed to find more information about the Italian Zingo series (1913-14) featuring the exploits of a hairy caveman. Another pleasing addition is the brief but interesting summation of each decade which also features a mini-biography on Willis O'Brien, the impact of GODZILLA (aka: Gojira) and the Toho film company and animator Ray Harryhausen's contribution to the cinema with an introduction by the man himself.
