Reddit reviews The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Movies

I was 9 years old. After that Thanksgiving weekend, I was hooked. I went through all of my dad's old issues of Starlog, Famous Monsters of Filmland, and The Monster Times to get as much info on Japanese monster movies as I could. My most indispensable resource was The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Movies by Phil Hardy, which listed nearly every science fiction movie through the mid 80s. Then picked up a copy of Hollywood Dinosaurs at a local $1 store and watched the Toho trailers over and over again. The Trendmasters toys were also out at that time, so my fandom snowballed from there.
