Collectible Time: Rick "Spine" Mountfort's 25 Yrs of Spine Tingling Artwork

To Castle of Frankenstein, Journal of Frankenstein and Scary Monsters readers, in addition to fans of Don Glut's The New Adventures of Frankenstein, Rick "Spine" Mountfort's artwork is noted and revered. Now, one can consume a grand heft of it, within a 200-plus paged, paperback edition entitled 25 Years of Spine Tingling Art.

For those unaware, Mountfort's style is a cross between George Seurat and Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, with a hearty strand of nostalgic Halloween throughout. This volume's cover sports one such exemplary example: Warren Oates' pop-eyed "Mutant" from The Outer Limits.

As his admirers darn well know, Mountfort's horror/monster/alien subjects are as diverse as they are beloved and include a variety of werewolves, vampires, mummies, zombies, robots, slashers and colossal specimens, which cover the glorious scope of Universal and Hammer, as well as all those garish, drive-in glories of the 1950s and beyond.  

I find Mountfort's team-up (collage-style) efforts the most intriguing, which celebrate such subjects as George A. Romero, Ray Harryhausen, cinematic lycanthropes, Lon Chaney's Phantom, The Monster That Challenged the World, Karloff's Imhotep, The Outer Limits, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Lucio Fulci, plant creatures, Return of the Living Dead, et al. 

His original (non-cinema) images are also cream of the crop, with my favorites depicting Glut's Frankenstein Monster fighting an alligator in one instance and in another, a gorilla. There's a neat one, too, of the Monster flailing up at a flying saucer. Cool kids' stuff, rendered by an artist who more than knows the ghastly genre! 

Mountfort's book will give one years of enjoyment, for flipping through its pages is like browsing a museum of cultivated curiosities, where one finds something new with each and every glance.
