"We are thrilled to be paying tribute to a genre in entertainment that has not only withstood the test of time but grown more popular with every generation.  And it is particularly poignant for this exhibit to feature these creatures and characters at the Hollywood Museum, where make-up and the magic of make believe began with Hollywood's make-up king, Max Factor!” said Donelle Dadigan (President and Founder of The Hollywood Museum).

The public has been fascinated with monster stories and the mayhem they offer since before "Frankenstein" premiered in 1931 and the  original "King Kong" released  in 1933.  One of  the most successful genres in the movie industry, horror and monster movie films  continue to thrill  movie fans with current releases such as "The Predator," "The Nun" and "Jurassic Kingdom."
