It's nice to see that a "Wolfman" finally got a chance to run his own monster magazine. This issue is a special Mummy-themed issue with a film history written by Ron Haydock. "Next Week: The Monster Strikes", by Don Glut, is a look at the monsters that showed up in the chapter serials. Tony Isabella provides a look a stop-motion pioneer, Will O'Brien. Editor Harmon discusses his attending the screening of the rough cut of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and what was removed from it. The black EXORCIST, Abby is covered, and Haydock adds a look at the films of William Castle. There's more here, as well, and it all adds up to another winner of a monster 'zine from Marvel.
