Little Shoppe of Horrors #50 spotlights Hammer Studios' final, Frankenstein chapter, Terence Fisher/John Elder's Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell, starring Peter Cushing, Madeline Smith, Shane Briant and David Prowse.
In addition to this great, Frankenstein finale, Little Shoppe also covers Terence Fisher/Dennis Wheatley's supernatural magnetizer, The Devil Rides Out (aka The Devil's Bride), starring Christopher Lee and Charles Gray; plus one of the best anthology series that ever was or will ever be, Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected.
To ensure the pot overflows with bonus chills, there's a thorough essay on Hammer's camaraderie with 20th Century Fox/Seven Arts, and an endearing expose on that underrated proponent of all things sinister, the superlative Anton Diffring.
As a further coaxer, Issue #50 is decorated by masterful artwork by Mark Maddox (who rendered the Frankenstein cover), William Stout (who created the demonic, back cover), Adrian Salmon (who fashioned the Dahl, inside-front tribute) and Colin Fenwick (who dished up the Rides Out inside-back bedazzler).
The issue's prolific articles are by Kevin Klemensen, Pam Murray, Bruce G. Hallenbeck, Kiffy and Rachael Stainer-Hutchins, Constantine Nasr, Christopher Gullo and John Stoker, who deliver the most encyclopedic overviews one could desire.
Little Shoppe is a remarkable periodical that commemorates the best in British-horror cinema. Each issue is printed on high-stock paper and packed with gorgeous, photo reproductions and amazing, tie-in artwork. Issue #50 is another stand-out in a long line of such praiseworthy submissions.
