Little Shoppe of Horrors presents
Little Shoppe of Horrors #52
Celebrating our 53nd Year!
In 1961, Mama Gorgo tore London apart while going to save Gorgo Junior. For film goers of that period, it was a gorgeous, colorful, knockout. For M-G-M, and particularly the King brothers, (or as they weere originally known - the Kozinsky brothers) Maury, Frank and Hymie, it was a successful trip into the 'man-in-a-suit-asaurus' realm that Toho had instigated with their original 1954 Godzilla.
In our massive study Gorgo, you'll learn all the inside info on how it came to be. Not just from the previous Eugene Lourie articles by Paul Mandell, or Lourie's auto-bio, but lots of never seen or read production information and comments/stories from crew members and the King brothers themselves.
AND, you'll have the fascinating, full story of the King/Kozinsky Bros., from their early 'slightly' gangster-like businesses , to very successful independent movie producers (Dillinger. Gun Crazy. The Brave One (Academy Award © winner). In the movie Trumbo, John Goodman plays Frank King to perfection.
Stephen R. Bissette on the Gorgo (and Konga & Reptilicus) Charlton comic books. Lee Kaplan writes about the models and toys based on Gorgo.
Hundreds of behind the scenes photos, NEVER SEEN before, showing how all the monster and effects scenes were filmed and achieved by Academy Award © winning SPFX director Tom Howard, and photographed by another award winner - Freddie Young.
