In issue 42 of The Monster Times, the Werewolf of Woodstock gets skinned, the wizard of gore himself dishes it up in an interview, and Mark Carducci's personal appearance at the Shepperton Studios auction, when they changed hands and bled away their monstrous history, will bring a tear to your eye. There's an odd True Scream Confessions attempt at humor taking us inside the private lives of the monsters, but I can leave it. You may like it, though. Here's something else: The Transylvanian Catalogue by Macmillan, offering 16mm prints for rental, by mail. An interesting early attempt at catering to the movie going fan of horror and science fiction movies. They must have gotten hammered by the VHS market when it sparked up in 1977.

An overly talky movie, yet still has its charms; especially with the monster hanging around the lighthouse for food scraps. In-between the gabfests, the unexpected gore (monster holding severed head, crab crawling over severed head) must have jolted kids in their theater seats, making it a must see movie for them. I saw it on local television in the 1960s and was nicely scared, thank you very much. The creature suit was fashioned by Universal veterans involved with the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

The usual mad scientist on lonely island performs experiments they shouldn't kind of movie. Only done very very badly. You can watch this one on YouTube. Lucky you. There's something about this Mexican lobby card, though, that's kind of cool and very spook show stylish.
