Brings back memories but my memories are more accurate

The premise of this book is good. There just isn't a lot of press when it comes to the monsters of the good old days (before cgi). But the problem is the author just didn't check his facts and do enough research on the subject. I got this book when I was in fourth grade. Being young and naive, I took what was in this book to be gospel. But as I got older and watched more of these wonderful old "monster movies", I realized just how much misinformation there is.
A good example is the pictures. There are many that are mislabeled. Some actors are given as being the subject when, in fact, it's a completely different person. Another are the years listed. More often than not, the year listed is off by two or three.
I give the book three stars only because it conjures up memories of Saturday late night "scary movies" when the actors really did act, not just scream real loud. As for content, it could have been much better.
