Wow, oh wow! Castle of Frankenstein #44 is packed with eerie wonderment and all in time for Halloween.
Curry Barker's love-gone-wrong hit, Obsession, is the headliner this time around, with an insightful essay that tells how this innovative venture eclipsed Hollywood's inflated competition.
In addition, there's an outstanding article chronicling television's sagebrush scares, including episodes from The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Wagon Train, Have Gun - Will Travel, Cimmaron Strip, The High Chaparral, The Big Valley, Yancy Derringer, Bronco, Cheyenne, Lawman, Black Saddle, The Alaskans and Death Valley Days.
Readers are also treated to a rundown on the cinematic children of Robert Louis Stevenson's Jekyll & Hyde; character actor Darby (I Walked with a Zombie) Jones; an overview of creepy, Spanish chillers; Universal's eternal, Kharis series; Jack Kirby's influence on Full Moon Features; Umberto Lenzi's zombie-fied Nightmare City (City of the Walking Dead); the uproarious, Bela Lugosi/Darby Jones team-up (with Alan Carney & Wally Brown), Zombies on Broadway; Peter Bogdanovich's conscientious, Boris Karloff classic, Targets; and the 1970s, drive-in/UHF staple, Track of the Moon Beast.
As supplements, there's a Valentina von Frankenstein comic strip and a mountain of movie and book reviews.
This 130-pg extravaganza has a bit of everything for everyone ... that is, if one happens to be an ardent, horror fan.
