First words

Preface - The Undying Creature: I've been a devout fan of Creature Features ever since I moved to San Francisco is 1970 and began setting my own horror stories there.

Introduction - We Pause Briefly for Horror: In the late 1950s the anemic horror field genre was in desperate need of a transfusion.

Son of the Introduction: One of these nights I shall have to leave my fave or jackals and primitive darkness to prowl into the overground world of sunlight in search of an honorable line of work.
