H01 - Cinema of the Fantastic | Chris Steinbrunner and Burt Goldblatt

This visual history catalogs the golden age of escapism, spanning from the silent trickery of A Trip to the Moon to the atomic anxieties of Forbidden Planet. Steinbrunner and Goldblatt dissect the practical effects and rubber-suit monsters that once terrified audiences before CGI rendered the imagination obsolete. It serves as a tombstone for an era when the "fantastic" required actual craftsmanship rather than just a render farm. Please note that this copy does not have a dustjacket.
