The drawbridge is down and the rusty gates of CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN have once more opened. The folks who have treated you to the great 'zine, SCARY MONSTERS, are resurrecting the legendary title, originally conceived and published by Calvin T. Beck back in the days before video and when 8mm home monster movies were all the rage.
Here's the teaser, direct from the publisher:
Raise your pitchforks and reading glasses high and get ready to storm the castle ...
The return of Castle of Frankenstein, from the publishers of Scary Monsters! The long wait is over for a regular issue continuing its original 35-issue run (plus 2 annuals) that began 60 years ago.
Castle of Frankenstein explores classic horror, sci-fi, and fantasy films in depth and without compromise. The cover story reveals "The Lost Voyages of Sinbad," a look at Ray Harryhausen's film that was never made. We'll also feature mini film reviews by Baron von Neck, a retro "Slaymate of the Month," and other regular monster-movie-macabre features loaded with phantastic photos.
When will it come out? Much like Beck's original, we can't say exactly, but definitely sometime this FALL, so stay alert villagers!
Color cover and 80 perfect-bound B&W pulp pages inside. You never know when The Castle will make its way to the newsstand, but rest assured, by the time the leaves are falling and the hearth is warmed during a dark, stormy night, it will crawl its way onto the shelves of Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million and throughout the countryside in independent book and comic stores through Diamond Comics.
