CLASSIC MONSTERS OF THE MOVIES #36: DRAC, FREAKS, SEQUELS & HAUNTS

Classic Monsters of the Movies #36 will satisfy all with a Hammer hunger, in particular one for Terence Fisher's spectacular sequel, The Brides of Dracula (as Daniel Horne's colorful cover celebrates), along with its stars Peter Cushing, David Peel, Yvonne Monlaur, Martita Hunt and Freda Jackson.

To extend the vampiric theme, one will also find a tasty essay on the 1970s Broadway Dracula and John (Saturday Night Fever) Badham's 1979 adaptation of such, headlined by the suave and reprising Frank Langella, Shakespearean icon Laurence Oliver and the always nuanced Donald Pleasence.  

Ah, but there's more, for #36 contains a seminal passage on Tod Browning's controversial but beloved Freaks, an overview of popular, new and old sequels, including Final Destination 2 & 3, Friday the 13th: Part 8The Bride of FrankensteinFrankenstein Meets the Wolfman, House of Frankenstein and Dracula's Daughter, a plunge into Neil Marshall's hair-raising sojourn, The Descent, a conscientious continuation of haunted-house cinema, featuring The Changeling, Burnt OfferingsThe Others, The InnocentsA Ghost Story and The Uninvited 1944, a candid chat with Melvyn Hayes, the adolescent Baron of Hammer's redefining The Curse of Frankenstein, plus a new crop of product reviews in "Sweeney Todd's Cellar." 

This issue's edifying contents are delivered by the knowledgeable Nige Burton, Jamie Jones, John Logan, Jonathan Rigby and Steve Nallon, who ensure that #36's photo-laden, 84 pages are as satisfying as any horror periodical can achieve.
