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. |
