About the Book
This stunning volume explores a forgotten sub-genre of early horror and fantasy cinema: the era of gorilla men, killer apes, and monstrous evolutionary hybrids. Covering the period from 1908 to 1949, the book presents an annotated filmography and over 150 rare production stills—many previously unpublished. From the infamous Ingagi to King Kong, this collection charts the symbolic and visual obsession with apes in film history and its cultural implications. A must-have for collectors of obscure film memorabilia and lovers of strange cinema.
