All works of non-fiction these days claim to be the “definitive” this, the “essential” that, or “ultimate” the other. This guide, however, truly is essential, for the information contained within these pages may well save your life. This ESSENTIAL, ULTIMATE, DEFINITIVE guide is the most comprehensive tome ever put together on the subject of monsters. Within these pages lie the secrets to many of the monsters that are still at large today. Whether you are a monster watcher or monster hunter, you will find these entries invaluable.
We cover their height, weight and other vital statistics: their origins, their habitats, their eating habits (watch out Tokyo), and even their breeding patterns (those that have them). We also cover the following:
BEHAVIOR: Through careful comparison you can find out if your next-door neighbor, schoolteacher, boss, or even parent is truly what they seem.
LETHALITY: Discover which creatures are even more dangerous than secondhand smoke, non-saturated fats, and excess carbs.
WEAKNESSES: If you’re going to protect yourself from the forces of evil you MUST know not only how to protect yourself, but how to send the forces of darkness back where they belong (and we’re not talking train tickets here).
POWERS: Who can do what to whom and how: The when’s, the where’s, the why’s, and the what with’s.

November 11, 2009: This is the essential guide book of the most nefarious characters in modern cinema. Important statistics are covered like a monster's height, weight, origins, and habits. Informative & humorous! I grew up reading Famous Monsters of Filmland & this particular book brings back those memories. We need to feel sacred to remind us of our mortality.
