A complete guide to modern monster make-up special effects. Arranged chronologically, "Behind the Mask" takes the reader from the work of Dick Smith ("The Exorcist") and the "Star Wars" phenomenon in the 1970s, to the world of computer-generated special effects in the 1990s. Featuring interviews with artists and behind-the-scenes photographs, sketches and storyboards, the book reveals the special effects make-up techniques of such films as "The Howling", "The Thing", "Alien", "Gremlins", "ET", "Terminator 2", "Batman Returns" and Spielberg's latest film, "Jurassic Park". The book includes a full bibliography, as well as a list of useful addresses and a glossary of special effects terms.
