Scary Monsters #133 is a thematic triumph for all who dig hipster vampires, as it caters to the best in modern, parasitic variants, as well as several unearthly blasts from the Gothic past.
Scott Jackson's Scream Blacula Scream cover, highlighting William Marshall's Prince Mamuwalde with Pam Grier's Lisa Fortier, epitomizes this issue's chills, as does the artist's creepy, back collage, which includes Jonathan Frid's Barnabas Collins, Nancy Barrett's Carolyn Stoddard, Robert Quarry's Count Yorga, George Hamilton's Dracula, Arte Johnson's Renfield; Sandra Harrison's Nancy Perkins and Amanda Bearce's Amy Peterson. What a devilish, decades-spanning wraparound if ever there was!
Inside, one can consume articles on historic, vampire mythology; cinematic, lady bloodsuckers; the mysterious vamp, Theda Bara; Fright Night 1985 vs 2011; Tobe Hooper's slant on Stephen King's Salem's Lot; Larry Cohen's A Return to Salem's Lot; Frank Frazetta's unmade Dracula; House of Dark Shadows; Love at First Bite; Blood of Dracula; Vampirella; The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires; 30 Days of Night; Santo's Dracula bouts; Dan Curtis' Dracula 1974 (with Jack Palance and Fiona Lewis); Son of Dracula 1974 (with Harry Nilsson and Ringo Starr); Count Dracula 1977 (with Louis Jordan and Judi Bowker); the aforementioned, Blacula sequel; The Return of Count Yorga; Goke, the Body Snatcher; Gigantor; Gamera vs Gyaos; Godzilla Minus Zero; Lon Chaney Jr.'s Strange Confession (of The Inner Sanctum franchise) and much more.
