School Library Journal
November 1, 2019
Gr 3-8-Exploring iconic movie monsters, this hi-lo series outlines the origins, films, and ongoing legacy of different characters. Striking, up-close images of horror villains grace the covers, and prominent photographs of each film and its influences are featured throughout. The text, appropriate for a middle school audience, is highly readable; short chapters with a single paragraph per page explore the development and influence of each character and film. However, at a slim 24 pages each, these titles can only skim the surface of the history of these iconic characters, and a lack of captions or charts means readers may need to go elsewhere for additional information. VERDICT While light on content, these books will attract middle schoolers interested in horror and the macabre at a second grade reading level.

These slight volumes provide brief information (including broad plot summaries) about famous horror movies and their menacing protagonists. Readers learn about the "origin" of each creature (e.g., Stephen King conceived of Pennywise while crossing a bridge, a la the "Three Billy Goats Gruff"), its on-screen history, and its "legacy." Terrifying movie stills and other images enliven the presentation. Glos., ind.(Copyright 2019 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
