TCFH's initial set of monsters are taken directly from the less-than-legendary films of Harold Haxton. His giant monster movies are now cult classics, beloved by a following as loyal as it is small. Like many misunderstood artists, Haxton never received the recognition he well deserved...until now, of course. For more about Haxton's life and films, visit Harold Haxton: My Life In The Can.
