antkneeomonster's review against another edition
5.0
Tom Savini is a personal hero of mine (check my profile pic). Hell, when I was a kid I wanted to BE the man. He could craft gore and monsters that would blow your mind, he could perform stunts, he could ride a motorbike and woo women - possibly at the same time! I watched every movie he was involved with and loved them all, with a deep adoration for his work with George A. Romero.
Time passed and I eventually had the great honour to work with the man on a film I wrote called Inhuman Resources (for you Americans) and Redd Inc. (in Australia). Needless to say it was a life-changing experience and now I proudly call the man my friend.
SAVINI: The Biography is a wonderfully frank, and beautiful-looking coffee table book that takes the reader on a journey through Tom's fascinating, occasionally frightening, always interesting life. Expect observations on existence, love, movies, gore, monsters and more.
If you have the misfortune not to know Tom, then reading SAVINI is a close second and an insight to a man who will always be a hero to many, and especially a misfit like me.
