Harry Thomas the Monster Maker

On a recent visit to Professor Kinema‘s archives, I pulled out a folder labelled ‘Harry Thomas’. We tend to love the monsters makeup and special effects artists make, but forget to show the love for the artists just as much. So here’s the Prof’s photos and an interview excerpt (the first three pages) from Filmfax magazine (issue 21) with Harry Thomas. Any monsterkid will recognize the movies that Thomas worked on, which include Superman vs the Mole Men, Cat-Women of the Moon, Killers from Space, The Little Shop of Horrors, and the list goes on. Head over to the Movie Monster Museum ( https://moviemonstermuseum.com/harry_thomas_web_page.htm) to learn more about him.
