Scary Monsters #127 creeps forth with a hearty queue of mad-scientist/monster-island charms, including those of Eddie Romero/Severin Films' Filipino Blood Island franchise.
Scott Jackson's wondrous wraparound cover sets the pace, with Eddie Garcia's Beast of Blood (the Chlorophyll Man) in the front-cover forefront, hoisting his head in homage to his eponymous, Blood Island sequel. (Ah, what sweet childhood memories it does bring!)
In addition to the Blood Island chapters, an overview of Dr. Moreau movies is included, with the Blood Island kickstarter, Blood Creature (aka Terror is a Man) figuring in.
In addition to the above, there's coverage on Robert Quarry/Count Yorga; Jack Pierce; Lon Chaney Sr; Boris Karloff; Christopher Lee; Ted Turner; Irish McCalla; She Demons; Voodoo Island; Horrors of Spider Island; King of the Zombies; Teenage Zombies; Mantago (Attack of the Mushroom People); The Killer Shrews; She Gods of Shark Reef; The Island '80; Jaws; Dead and Buried; The Last Man on Earth; The Omega Man; Mill of the Stone Women; Kill, Baby, Kill; The Whip and the Body (aka What); plus a healthy smattering of dinosaur/kaiju epics, spearheaded by The Lost World '25 and King Kong '33.
Man, oh man, is this ever a luxuriant fright fest. Snatch a copy of Scary Monsters #127 at your favorite book store or online source. It's an embellished, thematic hit you'll revisit time and again.
