It Came from Bob's Basement : Exploring the Science Fiction and Monster Movie Archive of Bob Burns
Known to give up precious living space to display a full-size creature from the Black Lagoon or a pair
of Frankenstein's clod-hoppers, Bob Burns is the patron saint of special effects for B movies. His
storied basement houses the largest private collection of props, models, sketches, storyboards, and
other bits of nostalgic debris from a century's worth of films. It Came from Bob's Basement is a colorful
journey through the vivid and campy world of fantastic cinema and a true tribute to a man who has
dedicated his life to the preservation of incredible movie artifacts-from the original King Kong's metallic
skeleton to the life-size Alien Queen. Including insider stories from the sets of favorites like The She
Creature, It Conquered the World, and Plan Nine from Outer Space, Bob Burns brings fellow fantasy buffs up close with props and
artwork from the greatest (and most outrageous) sci-fi films of all time. A story told with genuinely irresistible enthusiasm, Bob's
Basement honors the beloved cult classics that have shaped movie history.
