Doug Bradley-the actor who portrays the terrifying Pinhead in Clive Barker's Hellraiser film series-provides his own unique and personal perspective on cinema monsters and the men who play them.  He also briefly examines the cultural and dramatic history of the mask, from cave art through Greek theatre to trick-or-treat.  In addition to the classic horror actors Lon Chaney and Boris Karloff, Bradley covers such unforgettable characters as The Wolf Man, The Phantom Of The Opera and The Hunchback Of Notre Dame in detail.  He also discusses the European tradition, such as Jean Marais' Beast in La Belle Et La Bete, the work of Vincent Price and the Hammer Films of the 50s and 60s.  Bringing the subject up to date is the resurgence of interest in modern-day movie monsters, which has spawned recent horror hits Halloween, Freddy Vs. Jason, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, among others.  With commentary from the actors behind The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Leatherface, Freddy from A Nightmare On Elm Street, Jason from Friday The 13th, and Michael Myers from Halloween, along with his own experience of the creation of Pinhead, Bradley creates a vivid picture of exactly how it feels to be the man behind the mask.
