MESSAGES FROM THE DARK SIDE

Journalist Steve Green has shared two more articles he wrote a while back for THE DARK SIDE, a leading horror mag in England. First is an in-depth profile of the lovely Hammer Glamour actress Jenny Hanley, who starred in SCARS OF DRACULA (1970). Then he gives his opinion in a DVD review of Peter Straub's film adaptation of GHOST STORY.

Thanks a ton, Steve for the insightful pieces. Any more of these and I'll have to start calling you my UK Correspondent!

FREAKS COMICS ADAPTATION (PART 4)

It took almost four months after issue #3 for Fantagraphics to publish the final issue of their adaptation of Tod Browning's FREAKS. I liked the fact that they kept the team of Woodring and López throughout to maintain continuity. The only thing that really changed was the cover price got bumped a quarter. The last panel is a doozy.

LON CHANEY, JR. HAS A CLOSE SHAVE

This clever full-page ad for Schick razors appeared in magazines in 1991. Since Chaney, Jr. passed away almost 20 years earlier, it is assumed his estate earned the licensing fees.
