Publisher's Synopsis
THE THIRD ENTRY IN THE RONDO AWARD NOMINATED MONSTER MOVIE BOOK SERIES!
From the creators of Giant Bug Cinema - A Monster Kid's Guide and Giant Beast Cinema - A Monstrous Movie Guide, both of which reached the Top Ten on Amazon for Horror Movie Books, comes Cinema Bizarro - a celebration of killer plants, eccentric aliens, and weird westerns!
Featuring insanely insightful reviews of 38 movies (plus 30 capsule reviews of Weird Westerns of the 1930's and 1940's), take a very unsafe tourbus through a terrifying terrain filled with sight-stealing triffids, alien gorillas in diving helmets, and the vampires 'n' dinosaurs that vexed the wild west. Let Cinema Bizarro envelop you in its loving embrace like the cool, slimy clutches of The Blob!

As with the two earlier books, Cinema Bizarro explores this arena up until the accepted end of the "Monster Kid Era" - 1968 (although we did sneak in one entry from 1969 because, hey, it was from The Master, Ray Harryhausen!). But rest assured, plans are afoot to bring our readers second volumes of Giant Bug Cinema, Giant Beast Cinema, and Cinema Bizarro, which will take readers into the gonzo 1970's, 1980's and beyond.
