I can't think of a better magazine to have spent a buck on back in the early 1970s. CINEFANTASTIQUE encapsulated all that was professional in a monster/sci-fi/fantasy movie mag. Hell, it validated the genres. To those of you who think Calvin Beck's CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN brought sophistication to our beloved monster movies (and it did, to an extent), one only needs to turn to Frederick Clarke's CF to see the real deal.
This issue is taken up mostly by coverage of the POTA franchise. Author Dale Winogura digs deep into Ape lore by interviewing all the people who had an influence on the making of the series. There is also an "on the set" article about the second Dr. Phibes film. Included are features on Peter Cushing, SILENT RUNNING, and more. An excellent issue.
