A fun and fast read. This book grew out of Doug Bradley’s (Hellraiser’s Pinhead) Short lectures he gives when he does the horror/ Sci-fi convention circuit. An amusing and informative romp threw the history of horror cinema with a focus on “masked actors”. His personal reflections on the makeup process of the Hellraiser movies are the real gem of this book.
