WE BELONG DEAD #49: SHOCK WAVES & SUMMER SCARES

We Belong Dead #49 celebrates the summer with a sensational, Shock Waves spread, adorned by two great covers, one commemorating Ken Wiederhorn's popular, Peter Cushing/John Carradine/Brooke Adams, Nazi-zombie opus (fashioned by artist Mark Armstrong) and the other saluting the season's fruitful, fun-time frights (rendered by artist Paul Garner). 

Among the aquatic attacks, beach beasts and arenaceous mayhem, the issue contains retrospectives on Jaws, Jaws 2, Piranha (1978), Piranha II: Flying Killers (The Spawning), Piranha 3DPiranha 3DDThe Horror of Party Beach, The Monster and the Beach GirlThe Monster of Piedras Blancas, SlithisHumanoids from the Deep (1980), Blood BeachThe Beach House, The Sand, Venus Drowning, Night Tide, Surf Nazis Must Die, Cape Fear (1962 & 1991), Who Can Kill a Child?, UsOld, Send Help, Surf II, Uruba, Byzantium, Fail Break, and a look at several scary, summertime shorts.

To increase the creepy quotient, there are articles on I Know What You Did Last Summer and its sequels, The Amazing Mr. X, I Spit on Your Grave 2, The Other Hell, author Guy N. Smith's nightmarish paperbacks, horror-themed albums, a horror travelogue, horror climatology, horror holidays and the always welcome "Emma Dark's Corner."    

As an additional treat, my good friend and filmmaker extraordinaire, Ansel H. Faraj, shares a new "Asylum for the Psychotronic" column, exploring A.I.P.'s light-hearted, beach-party influencers Ghost of Dragstrip HollowThe Ghost in the Invisible Bikini and Vincent Price's Dr. Goldfoot pair. (Without question, Faraj's essay can't help but rekindle balmy memories.)

Cozy up to the summertime thrills and chills by ordering We Belong Dead #49:
