Movie Magic

Since the early days, filmmakers have been frightening moviegoers with their versions of things that go bump in the night. With a little bit of latex and a vivid imagination, special effects artists have created some of the industry's most horrific creatures. Witness the evolution of the vampire from the 1922 Nosferatu to the baglike creatures that appear in From Dusk 'til Dawn. Go behind the scenes with Stan Winston on the set of his directorial debut, Pumpkinhead and watch how the special effects team brings the creature to life. See how puppeteers give life to the wormlike stars of Tremors II. Includes rare interviews with the stars behind some of our most beloved monsters: Bela Lugosi (Dracula, Prince of Darkness),Ben Chapman (The Creature From the Black Lagoon), Peter Cushing (Dr. Frankenstein), and Christopher Lee (Dracula,and The Curse of Frankenstein).
