CLASSIC MONSTERS OF THE MOVIES #33: CHANEY, STEVENS, LUGOSI, PITT & MORE

Classic Monsters of the Movies #33 leads the charge with Erle C. Kenton's The Ghost of Frankenstein, accentuated by Daniel Horne's potent, Lon Chaney Jr./Frankenstein Monster portrait-cover. 

In addition to Chaney's famed portrayal, Issue #33 contains articles on Hammer's Countess Dracula (featuring the arousing Ingrid Pitt); monster-movie, musical tunes; a look at character-actor supreme, Onslow (House of Dracula/The Monster and the Girl) Stevens; the revered, monster-bash series, Penny Dreadful; and 1941's underrated but enduring The Black Cat (a quality, Bela Lugosi retooling of The Cat and the Canary).  

Credit for the spine-tingling ingredients goes to Nige Burton, Jamie Jones, Alex Hopkins, David Huckvale and Marcus Turner, who excel in their knowledge and appreciation of their subject matters. 

As with all Classic Monsters issues, #33 is full of riveting photos and graphics, in addition to the ever informative "Sweeney Todd's Cellar," which assesses several new, novelty products, thus making this 68-page installment a winner for all fans of Gothic horror.

SCARY MONSTERS #125: MEMORIES FROM THE MAG THAT DRIPPED BLOOD

Scary Monsters #125 holds a Robert Bloch, House that Dripped Blood bent, with Scott Jackson's cover-shot of the Bloch-ian/Amicus anthology's busty Ingrid Pitt to draw us in (accompanied, no less, by an article on Bloch's literary development of Norman Bates). To make Jackson's striking wraparound even more exciting, the rear view is in glorious, blood-tinted 3D, flaunting some fine, related examples, along with a comprehensive essay on the cinematic phenomenon. 

In addition to the aforementioned Bloch and his influential work, this scholarly issue emphasizes authors Ray Bradbury (It Came From Outer Space/Something Wicked This Way Comes), Edgar Rice Burroughs (The Land That Time Forgot/The People That Time Forgot), Robert A. Heinlein (The Puppet Masters/Starship Troopers) and current fantasy trailblazer, Robert Guffey (Bela Lugosi's Dead).

There's also coverage on Richard Matheson's popular Night Stalker sequel, The Night Strangler; The Cat Creature; Island of the Damned; Larry Talbot (and his howling accomplices); '60s Batmania; an Exorcist love letter; the horrifying, real-life H.H. Holmes and (in relation to Bates) Ed Gein; televised monster-movie jubilation; the famous, week-long Realart Film Festivals; and the grand movie palaces that once beamed the best of the best in imagi-entertainment.

Scary Monsters #125 has just the right ingredients to please all horror/science-fiction movie and literary buffs. Get your copy today online or at your favorite book shop.
