EERIE PUBLICATIONS COVER SWIPES


A few days ago, I posted an announcement for the upcoming book that collects all the Eerie Publications covers, and showed a sample of some of the luridly grotesque images that were intended to entice readers to grab their magazines instead of a copy of CREEPY, EERIE or VAMPIRELLA.

Culling through my files, I came across a number of covers that used image swipes from movies and horror actors. Here a a few of them:

Karloff as The Mummy.

A pose from a photo from FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN.

Barnabas.

Karloff's mummy again.

Taken from a still from EL VAMPIRO.

A riff on Karloff's Frankenstein monster.
