We Belong Dead's #50 oozes with weird wonderment, covering some of the biggest and best in imagi-movies. Mark Armstrong's icon-driven, front cover seals the deal, as does Josh Ryals' amusing, The Curse of Frankenstein, caricatured rear, with founder Eric McNaughton as Peter Cushing's Baron and editor Darrell Buxton as Christopher Lee's Monster.
For the issue's astounding 157 pages, We Belong Dead's shrewd contributors pay homage to not only the aforementioned, cover-shot inspirations, but additional stars, writers and directors who've stood the test of time.
For example, there are articles on the top, good-cop/bad-cop, terror team-ups; a rundown on Amando de Ossorio's The Blind Dead movies and their offshoots; Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth with David Bowie; a look at We Belong Dead's ambitious, back issues; engrossing, horror shorts; an extensive, graphic gallery; horror's greatest horror scenes, horror's greatest soundtracks; founding, horror classics that include Dracula 1931, Frankenstein 1931, The Mummy 1932, The Old Dark House 1932, The Wolf Man 1941, King Kong 1933, Godzilla 1954/56, The Thing (from Another World) 1951/1982, Diabolique 1955, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman 1958, Carnival of Souls 1962, The Haunting 1963, Black Christmas 1974, Carrie 1976, A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984; and Candyman 1992; plus terrific tributes on Rod Serling, Alfred Hitchcock, William Castle, Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence, Ray Harryhausen, Ingrid Pitt, Clive Barker, Paul Naschy, Michael Ripper, Barbara Steele, Guillermo del Toro, James Whale and Tod Browning, to name but a few.
My friend, director/writer/producer Ansel H. Faraj (aka The Sandalman), even supplies a new "Asylum for the Psychotronic" column that lists his 50 leading examples of VHS/DVD artwork. (It's quite an amazing, aesthetic expanse!)
We Belong Dead #50 gives readers so much to appreciate. Invest in it and come away thrilled, chilled and above all, satisfied.
