CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN RETURNS: SINBAD, AHAB, NOSFERATU, HAXAN & MORE

 

Castle of Frankenstein (via Scary Monsters Magazine) has been revived, and #36 is designed to delight fans of adventure movies, mythic creatures and B-grade chills, with Scott Jackson's heart-pounding, Sinbad-vs-Demons/et-al wraparound cover promoting the thematic pulse. 

To salute the Arabian captain, readers get not only a look at the cherished, Charles Schneer/Ray Harryhausen Sinbad Trilogy, but those pipeline concepts the duo had hoped to bestow the bold seafarer.

To further perpetuate this issue's adventuresome atmosphere, there's an essay on the cinematic run of Herman Melville's Moby Dick, in particular its Ray Bradbury/John Huston's 1956, big-screen treatment, with Richard Basehart as Ishmael and Gregory Peck as the obsessed Ahab. 

For further edifying embellishments, Castle's chambers open readers to the witchy masterpiece, Haxan and the bloodsucking triumph, Nosferatu (both at the 100th mark); unmade, Universal monster-movie proposals; The Batman; NopeZombies on Broadway; frightening film families; Jack Kerouac; Bela Lugosi; and "Slaymate of the Month", Jane Seymour. Now, how's that for eclectic satisfaction!

Castle of Frankenstein #36 is, indeed, a winsome winner that will keep one occupied for endless hours. Purchase a copy at your favorite bookstore or straight from the online source while the coveted chance lasts:
