Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BEAUTIES AND THE BEASTS-AND THE MAN WHO FELL THROUGH A MILLION YEARS TO LAND AMONG THEM BOTH! Finally available! The long-out-of-print story that inspired the famous cult film of the same name! "I grew up on Edgar Rice Burroughs when he was still writing new Tarzan and John Carter books. I loved this story, and if Burroughs is your cup of tea, you will love it, too." -Forrest J Ackerman Dinosaur Valley Girls is a fantasy spiced with comedy, telling the tale of Tony Markham, magically zapped across time to a mythical valley populated by sexy cavewomen, brutish cavemen and, of course, dinosaurs. In this book you will meet: Tony Markham-To meet the woman of his dreams...he had to enter to enter a barely-survivable nightmare world. Beeg-Mak-From the moment he met the man from the future, he knew they were destined to be mortal enemies. The Cavemen-A band of cruel brutes, to whom women were fit only for sex and drudgery. Hea-Thor-A mighty warrior, she had pledged to help him return to his world...even though she knew another woman's arms awaited him. The Dinosaur Valley Girls-Repulsed by the crude, violent ways of the Cavemen, they found sanctuary in a hidden cavern deep within the valley. Murderous Dinosaurs-Reptilian monstrosities, they were feared by even the most savage predators who roamed the dawn-age jungles. "Campy and unpretentious ... Yet its precise lack of seriousness is what makes the story enjoyable. Dinosaur Valley Girls is not without its comedic moments-especially the scene where the cavemen dance with a straw effigy of one of the cavewomen. It gets the job done." -Buzzy.com Based on Glut's original uncut version of the movie, this new edition of Dinosaur Valley Girls includes never-filmed scenes from, and scenes entirely left out of, the screenplay

Book excerpt: From classics like King Kong, to beloved B-movies like The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, to blockbusters like Jurassic Park, it's easy to see that filmmakers and audiences alike love to see dinosaurs on the screen. This comprehensive filmography, arranged alphabetically by title, contains entries that include basic facts (year of release, country of origin, studio, and running time), followed by a concise plot summary, the author's critical commentary, information on the production and the people behind it, and secrets of the often-ingenious special effects. Three useful appendices feature films with minor dinosaur content, planned but unfinished dinosaur movies, and the quasi-dinosaurs of Toho Studios. To be included, a movie must depict one or more representations of a "prehistoric reptile." Inaccurate portrayals are included, as long as the intent is to represent a real or fictional dinosaur. Not eligible are films featuring prehistoric mammals, prehistoric humans or humanoids, and beasts of mythology--unless, of course, the movie also has a dinosaur.

As the field of earth sciences matured during the 19th century, early fossilists gained understanding of prehistoric creatures such as Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops and Stegosaurus.

Download or read book Prehistoric Humans in Film and Television written by Michael Klossner and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the early days of the movies, "cavemen" have been a popular subject for filmmakers--not surprisingly, since the birth of cinema occurred only a few decades after the earliest scientific studies of prehistoric man. Filmmakers, however, were not constrained by the emerging science; instead they most often took a comedic look at prehistory, a trend that continued throughout the 20th century. Prehistoric humans also populated adventure-fantasy films, with the original One Million B.C. (1940) leading the charge. Documentaries were also made, but it was not until the 1970s that accurate film accounts of prehistoric humans finally emerged. This exhaustive work provides detailed accounts of 581 film and television productions that feature depictions of human prehistory. Included are dramas and comedies set in human prehistory; documentaries; and films and television shows in which prehistoric people somehow exist in historical periods--from the advent of civilization up to the present--or in extraterrestrial settings. Each entry includes full filmographic data, including year of release, running time, production personnel, cast information, and format. A description of each film provides background on the prehistoric elements. Contemporary critical commentary is included for many of the works.
