WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE SCREEN

This book serves as the definitive guide to dinosaurs in film and television, starting with Halswood's early interest sparked by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World and the original King Kong. It takes readers on a thrilling journey through iconic moments in the Godzilla series, genre landmarks like The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, and The Valley of Gwangi, along with memorable television shows such as The Flintstones, Land of the Lost, and Dinosaurs.

It also delves into lost films through exclusive interviews and previously unpublished illustrations, including an American version of Godzilla that wreaks havoc on San Francisco and a dinosaur project associated with the late Jim Henson. Additionally, it offers a glimpse into upcoming projects like a live-action Flintstones and Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Jurassic Park. This richly illustrated volume uncovers the behind-the-scenes magic, featuring interviews with renowned figures such as Ray Bradbury, Ray Harryhausen, and many more.
