Prepare for a howlin' good time with Scary Monsters #114: a special Wary of Werewolves, Howl-o-Ween Scaretacular, ushered by Scott Jackson's mega-morphing cover of Oliver Reed, Leon the Lycan, from Hammer Studio's "Curse of the Werewolf" (and the back-view collage is pretty darn ferocious, too).
Inside, one will find a revelry of one's furry favorites: "Werewolf of London"; "The Wolf Man"; "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman"; "Return of the Vampire"; "An American Werewolf in London"; "Cry of the Werewolf"; "Legend of the Werewolf"; "The Beast Must Die"; "Wolfblood"; and many more, along with the stars who've made them classic: Henry Hull; Lon Chaney Jr.; Matt Willis; and of course, the aforementioned, Mr. Reed.
In addition to its bestial spread, there's a stunning, forty-year tribute to Svengoolie (Son of, that is) by Dave Fuentes. (Sven and his trusty, rubber chicken are still going strong, thanks to Me-TV, where Saturday nights are all the more special, thanks to Sven's gags and insights into the films we hold near and dear to our frightful hearts.) Kudos to Scary Monsters for bestowing this enduring horror host such a splendid salute.
Issue #114 also contains interviews with exploitation legend, Sam "Drac vs Frank" Sherman (conducted by Andrew Rausch) and monster designer, Norman "Hellboy" Cabrera, (conducted by Dr. Gangrene). For spooky accompaniment, there are juicy tidbits on Ray Bradbury; Al Lewis; Peter Cushing; Rondo Hatton; Jerry Warren; plus Tom Weaver's "Scripts from the Crypt"; Halloween memories; and new, horror fiction. Way cool!!!
