This fanzine edited by Allan Barbour ran for 24 issues from 1963 to 1972. Page count varied from issue to issue and content was not limited to only horror films and actors, but included pictorials of many stars and movies from Hollywood's golden years.
The 6th issue (January 1964) contained a portfolio of photographs featuring Bela Lugosi. The photos were given to film critic and historian William K. Everson by Lugosi himself, who, in turn, kindly supplied them to Barbour to publish. Although many of them are now recognizable from various sources, at the time, the images had not yet been publicly seen.

I'm watching Shadows over Chinatown, a Lugosi serial right now. It features Herman Brix also and I like to think of it as Dracula versus Tarzan.
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! Love those creaky serials.
