Quasimodo’s Monster Magazine
Vol. 2 Issue 8
Part One

/ Magazine Morgue / Leave a Comment

Once again it's time to travel back to a time when pulpy paper printing and monstrous humor were all the rage. Today, let's enjoy issue 8 of Quasimodo's Monster Magazine, a magazine that gave you a big 100 pages, if not much else. In this first half of the magazine, we are treated to The Mummy Through the Ages, The Invisible Man (a sight for sore eyes), and funny comics related to the lead articles. More funny, now that we look back at them, are the advertisements: from the imported lock blade stilletto knife (moms loved that one), the Are You Having Trouble Reading This Ad? hawking eye exercises (funny, but now I could use those exercises), no-real-selling-needed order taking for metal social security plates, and automobile upholstering and customizing–yes! you too can do it! Hopefully we'll see some monsterkid related ads in the second half.

Thomas J. Wright Night Gallery Interview

Pickman's ModelGhost (http://friendlyghost.typepad.com/) sent me a link to the Thomas J. Wright interview conducted by TV Time Machine in 2011. Trying to listen to it, I discovered it didn’t play in contemporary browsers, as it needed an mplayer plugin. Or so each browser I tried indicated. Trying to retro fit the plugin, I had too many issues, so I gave up and captured an MP3 version instead.

So here it is. Right-click the link and “Save link as…”

Thomas J. Wright Night Gallery Interview

And perusing Wikipedia’s entry on Mr. Wright, I found he was quite the all-rounder: “Wright has directed episodes of Smallville,One Tree Hill, Firefly, and many other programs. He also worked extensively on Chris Carter’s Millennium, on which he was a producer as well as directing 26 of the show’s 67 episodes. He also directed the 1989 Hulk Hogan film No Holds Barred.”
