This issue proves why Mark Frank's PHOTON was such a great indie 'zine. Dense with text and material (some that was covered by the commercial mags, but not nearly as well) both from new and vintage films, PHOTON was a respected publication among serious monster fans. The headliner is the article on THE EXORCIST, the hottest horror film at the time. Film historian and stills collector Ronald V. Borst and David McDowell offer their differing opinions. Frank Dello Stritto contributes a retrospective of one of the creepiest monster movies of the 1930s, ISLAND OF LOST SOULS. Included are interviews with "Monster Hunters" John Agar, Richard Carlson and Jeff Morrow, and coverage of one of my favorite fantasy films (and Harryhausen films), THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD. Artists Bill Nelson, Dave Ludwig and Dave Carlson embellish the issue with their illustration talent.
