Some were even monsters themselves, such as Elsa Lanchester as the Bride, and Gloria Holden Veteran actress Virginia Christine recalls Universal burying her alive in a backlot swamp in full mummy makeup for the resurrection scene in The Mummys Curse--and how the studio saved that scene for the last day in case she suffocated.

Review:
"either volume stands alone as an important, richly crafted contribution to genre history. ...[1930s book has a] superb introduction...offers richly detailed essays and biographies on every actress involved in the Golden Age of Horror...meticulous research...the 1940s collection contains its own share of surprises, intriguing insights, and fascinating bits of trivia. Mank has given us two exquisitely written, profusely illustrated volumes that are vital to genre history. A beautiful job on all counts"--Monsters from the Vault
