Head's off, monster magazine fans. Time to pry open your coffin lid and go HERE to pick up the latest issue of CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN.
From the publisher:
Castle of Frankenstein #42 uncovers thrills and chills concealed by horror movie masks that hid identities and evil intentions. The earliest fantastic example is Lon Chaney’s The Phantom of the Opera, still gripping viewers 100 years later. Not wearing a mask but hidden all the same was the deadly contagion scientists battled in Michael Crichton’s and director Robert Wise’s sci-fi classic The Andromeda Strain. We also take a cue from today’s movie industry obsession with prequels, sequels, and remakes and consider what Universal Monsters films we would have liked to have seen. Plus, much more inside the castle doors, including regular features: Baron von Neck’s Mad Movie Reviews, Tales of Terror, Mike Goes to the Movies, Animation Archives, and Castle Book Critiques.
I'm also happy to announce that I've got not one, but two articles included in this issue: "Feast Your Eyes! Glut Your Soul! The Phantom of the Opera: A Centennial Retrospective" and "James Whale's Unholy Matrimony: The Bride of Frankenstein at 90" for a total of 8,300 words of monster goodness!
Since Castle of Frankenstein is now partnered with Scary Monsters, I try to get each issue. I just watched The Phantom of the Opera a few days ago. I'm watching vintage horror movies at the moment starting with the juicy silents.
ReplyDeleteDon and Vicki Smeraldi are good people and have supported my writing for a few years now. They've recently opened up a shop, Monsters on Main, in Van Buren, Arkansas. Sounds like quite a place.
