About the Author
BOB MICHELUCCI Bob is one of the pioneers of the independent horror publishing field and a veteran of the Zombie film genre brought to life in Pittsburgh, PA. His first book was THE COLLECTORS GUIDE TO MONSTER MAGAZINES in 1977, self-published with Dick Zdinak and considered the "bible" for film-monster magazine collecting (a revised edition was published in 1988, complete with Jack Davis cover art). In 1978, he partnered up with Bill Wilson to design and co-publish a slick sci-fi magazine called QUESTAR, which reached a circulation of 100,000 at its peak in 1981. Also in 1978, Bob played the "SCOPE ZOMBIE" in George Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD (Bob later played a priest in CHILDREN OF THE LIVING DEAD and a police officer in John Russo's SANTA CLAWS). In 1980, he formed IMAGINE, INC. and began a long career publishing and designing now-classic trade paperback titles including Tom Savini's GRANDE ILLUSIONS & GRANDE ILLUSIONS BOOK 2, Dick Smith's MONSTER MAKE-UP HANDBOOK, THE COMPLETE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD FILMBOOK, EROTICISM IN THE FANTASY CINEMA (intro by Chris Lee), FORREST J ACKERMAN, FAMOUS MONSTER OF FILMLAND (Intro by Vincent Price) and BRUNO SAMMARTINO, AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WRESTLING'S LIVING LEGEND. Other publishing projects have included magazine SCREAM QUEENS ILLUSTRATED, having run for over twenty issues (edited by John Russo; Art Direction/Design by Bob), SCREAM BEAT, DRIVE-IN CINEMA and MAKING MOVIES and several trading card sets including five series of SCREAM QUEENS, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and TOM SAVINI GRANDE ILLUSIONS (both with FANTACO), WRESTLING LEGENDS, FANTASY GIRLS series 1&2, YOU SLAY ME, two series of DARK SHADOWS cards and three DARK SHADOWS limited edition illustrated prints by John Graziano. Having previously chaired two conventions in Pittsburgh, FANTASY FILM CELEBRITY CON & CON 2 (Caroline Munro's first U.S. convention appearance), in 1993, Bob served as Chairman for the ZOMBIE JAMBOREE: The 25th Anniversary Convention for NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD in Pittsburgh, bringing together the original cast for the first time in 25 years. Bob was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror in 1979. Bob's wife Dee, and their daughter, Dawn, acted in John Russo's SANTA CLAWS. Dee was also the ZOMBIE MOM and Dawn the ZOMBIE DAUGHTER in 1998's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 30th Anniversary Edition. Bob's current project is MEMORIES OF THE LIVING DEAD.
