We Belong Dead #48 has at long last manifested, and it's a bloody success, with double-whammy covers featuring the late, great Udo Kier (as featured in Andy Warhol's Blood for Dracula and a creepy collage celebrating the Master of the Macabre, Vincent Price, with a splattering of his enduring characters. (The imaginative imagery is rendered by adroit artists John Ryals and Mark Armstrong, respectively.)
In addition to the headlining features on these iconic thespians, one will be treated to a revealing interview with actor/director/writer (and Brian De Palma protege) Sam (Elvira's Haunted Hills) Irvin, conducted by director/writer/producer, Ansel (Loon Lake/The Great Nick D) Faraj; a submission on Dyanne Thorne's Ilsa of the S.S. exploits; a sentimental look at Eugene Lourie's Gorgo; a retrospective on director/writer Tobe Hooper and his terrifying, chain-sawing trails; a further look at the Chain Saw sequels; as well as revealing rundowns on horror records and horror radio.
Ah, but you thirst for more, you say?! Well, there is more, much more, and the supplements are superb, with daring delights on Stephen Weeks' fearsome, Jekyll/Hyde retelling, I Monster, starring Christopher Lee; the Lee-narrated documentary, In Search of Dracula; dynamic documentaries on Hammer Films; The Kiss of Dracula miniseries; the hearty history of vampire hunters; the comedic charms of Beverley Hills Vamp; British terror tales and turf, including Ken Russell's Gothic; John Gordon's supernatural fiction; Emma Dark's "Dark Corner"; The Festival of Fantastic Films; Rondo Hatton's "Guide to Life"; Johnny Weissmuller's cinematic swings; Christopher Walken's Prophesy series; Eddie Romero's Blood Island saga; and an overview on shrunken-head fables, spotlighted by one of my childhood favorites, The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake.
There's so much to relish in We Belong Dead #48. Do yourself a favor and capture a copy.
