CLASSIC MONSTERS OF THE MOVIES #32: CHANEY, CLIVE, THESIGER, DIFFRING & PRICE

A 68-page treasure trove of high-class horror beckons in Classic Monsters of the Movies #32, emboldened by Daniel Horne's biting depiction of Lon Chaney Sr.'s beaver-hatted "parasite" of London After Midnight. 

Beneath Chaney's emblematic makeup is a thorough analysis of the lost, MGM, Tod Browning fable, which so many pray will someday be disinterred; and this reflection is paired with an opulent view of Terence Fisher/Hammer Studios' Barre Lyndon-based, The Man Who Could Cheat Death, headlined by the uber-erudite Anton Diffring, in an ageless diversion that reunites The Curse of Frankenstein's Christopher Lee and Hazel Court. 

For added menace, the great, character actor Ernest Thesiger shares the sinister spotlight, as do the classic imagi-movies in which he starred with Boris Karloff, Bride of Frankenstien, The Old Dark House and The Ghoul.

Issue #32 also carries articles on William Castle/Vincent Price's gimmick-wound The Tingler; the hellbound, family ties of Ari Aster's classic-bound Hereditary; "Sweeny Todd's Cellar," which exalts recent, cultivated collectibles; and an impassioned look at the tragedies that befell some of Horrorwood's biggest names, including the Chaneys, Bela Lugosi, Helen Chandler, James Whale and Colin Clive.

Every page of Classic Monsters #32 deserves applause, thanks to the participation of Nige Burton, Jamie Jones, Dave Huckvale, Marcus Turner and Alex Hopkins, whose scholarly essays are teamed with imposing, historic posters and stills, all printed on high-quality stock.

LITTLE SHOPPE OF HORRORS #50: THE MONSTER, THE DEVIL & THE UNEXPECTED

Little Shoppe of Horrors #50 spotlights Hammer Studios' final, Frankenstein chapter, Terence Fisher/John Elder (Anthony Hinds)' 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.
