Tom Savini had teased earlier this year that the ultimate celebration of his career was coming soon courtesy of an official biography, and today we’ve got the date and details!

From growing up a “Monster Kid” in Pittsburgh to creating the iconic effects in Dawn of the Dead, Friday the 13th, Creepshow and Maniac to acting in films like From Dusk Till Dawn and Machete, Tom Savini’s astonishing career is told in detail for the first time ever in his official biography, Savini, which is set to be released on his birthday, November 3rd, 2019.

With over 425 color photos from his life and films, dozens never seen before, the limited-edition coffee table book is every horror collector’s Holy Grail. Told in Tom’s own unique voice, the book reads as if Tom is speaking directly to the reader. Tom himself spent countless hours making sure every single word, sentence and picture in the book was exactly how he wanted.

The limited-edition coffee table book is now available for pre-order starting today only from DarkInkBooks.com. Each copy will be hand numbered and limited to 1,013 copies.
