Shipping by the end of October and now available for pre-order is Richard Klemensen's excellent fanzine, LITTLE SHOPPE OF HORRORS. Below is the contents for this issue. I am particularly interested in seeing the article on THE SHADOW OF THE CAT, an atmospheric and moody 1961 Hammer Film, the history of CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN magazine, and the Thongor animated film.

LITTLE SHOPPE OF HORRORS #37 CONTENTS:
"A Living Hell That Time Forgot!”
The Making of Hammer's 1967 THE LOST CONTINENT
...or "Beasts, Bosoms and Balloons -- Hammer's Wildest Movie!"
Based on Famed British writer Dennis Wheatley's "Uncharted Seas", it was the most expensive film Hammer had made up to that time. Top notch cast, fun effects by Disney Academy Award© winning SPFX man, Robert A. Mattey, and a story that combines a 'ship of fools' with a wild exotic Sargasso Sea setting. And those balloons...!!

In his own words, the man who supervised, produced (SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL, TO THE DEVIL..A DAUGHTER, "Hammer House of Horror" & "Hammer House of Mystery & Suspense"), then owned Hammer films.
