Castle of Frankenstein No. 19, 1972

/ Magazine Morgue / Leave a Comment

Issue 19 of Castle of Frankenstein contains the usual reviews (including Hammer Horror) and interviews (with Ray Harryhausen and Douglas Trumbull). Social commentary (this is the 1970s) enters with CoF's best horror film of the year choice: Vietnamese children running from a napalm attack.  A reader really dislikes issue 18 and wishes CoF would publish more frequently.

Collegeville Spooky Spooks Skeleton
Halloween Costume

/ Halloween Costume / Leave a Comment

eBay'r theangryspider listed this Collegeville Spooky Spooks Skeleton. The only bone to pick I have with his photos is that he (or she) didn't unfold the vinyl skeleton suit, which looks like it has an awesome illustration we can't see. So that's a tad annoying. I've noticed sellers tend to not unfold vinyl costumes much when listing them. Odd. I wonder why? I can tell you though, that, after 30 minutes in a vinyl costume, you would sweat down to a skeleton yourself.

Horror Tales Vol. 2, No. 3, 1970

/ Magazine Morgue / Leave a Comment

Lots of gruesome terror in this issue of Horror Tales, beginning with those vile monsters torturing their poor victim. Ghouls running amok, rail-kill hits the tracks, and horror comes to room 1313, all drawn with verve and nerve to bring a chill to your ebookish ways. Just try to keep your head, unlike the poor fool stalked by the lady killer in the last story.
