(Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters book cover)
Critically acclaimed author and August Ragone is set to appear this
Saturday at the A NIGHTMARE TO REMEMBER Film Festival. The
Japanese movie monster enthusiast will be there to sign copies of his
book "Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters." Ragone's book is a must read
for giant monster fans who have a knack for the old school. It's been
getting great reviews, so if you're going to the fest this Saturday you'll
have a chance to pick up an autographed copy from the author himself.
Behind-the-scenes hero to anyone who's thrilled by giant monsters
duking it out over Tokyo, Eiji Tsuburaya was the visual effects
mastermind behind Godzilla, Ultraman, and numerous Japanese science
fiction movies and TV shows beloved around the world.
The first book on this legendary film figure in English, this highly visual
biography details his fascinating life and career, featuring hundreds of
film stills, posters, concept art, and delightful on-set photos of
Tsuburaya prompting monsters to crush landmark buildings. A must-have
for fans, this towering tribute also features profiles of Tsuburaya's film
collaborators, details on his key films and shows (most available on DVD),
and features on the enduring popularity of the characters he helped
create. August Ragone (local San Francisco native) has commented on
Japanese film and popular culture on television, radio, in print, online, and
at film festivals for more than twenty years. Take note, you can still
pre-order your tickets for the film festival over at landmarktheatres.com.
Just check the June 21st date to order your tickets.

guests.
Admission is $10.00 at the door, first ten people in line will receive a
Goodie bag, and there will also be Raffle and prizes for the audience as

that in this age of YouTube and Myspace small Film Makers have a better

would like to recognize them and help put it up on the big screen. So
come on out and support your local Horror Film Makers for a fun night
and see what may be the next up and coming.
