Scripts from The Crypt - The Hideous Sun Demon

by Tom Weaver

Be afraid! “The blaze of the sun made him a monster,” proclaimed lurid movie posters from Robert Clark’s THE HIDEOUS SUN DEMON (1959). Post-World War Two filmgoers were thrilled by the horrific story about exposure to radiation and an atomic research scientist who changes into a murderous, lizard-like creature every time he is exposed to sunlight.

Now, terror plunges to new depths in Tom Weaver’s new one-of-a-kind volume that may shock you. The author has unearthed everything under the sun about this unforgettable 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 THE HIDEOUS 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 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!
