Scripts from the Crypt: The Hideous Sun Demon
In this one-of-a-kind volume, you'll learn everything under the sun about producer-director-star Robert Clarke's 1959 monster classic: Clarke's in-depth account of the making of his low-budget independent movie; reprints of TWO versions of the script, the first set in the jungles of Guatemala; the full story of SUN DEMON's world premiere at a Texas drive-in; anecdotal memories of the frantic filmmaking process from nearly a dozen cast-and-crew participants; the original "Showmanship Manual"; an outline for a follow-up SUN DEMON film proposed by Clarke in the 1970s; scores of rare and never-seen photographs; even an afterword from sexquisite co-star Nan Peterson! This is the first in a series of such books from longtime genre fan and chronicler Tom Weaver.

More details than you thought possible,
If you enjoy the movie, this book has more information on the making of The Hideous Sun Demon than you’d expect. Contains the first draft of the script (very different than the actual film), details on the filming and a wealth of behind the scene photos. A must have for Sun Demon fans!
