Magick Theatre Issue No.8, 1987

The pro-zine Magick Theatre, put out by Raymond Young, was always a long reading experience as it was packed with content. In this issue there is an interview with Forrest J. Ackerman (Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine), Susan Cabot (The Wasp Woman) is remembered and Review O Rama provides critiques for your viewing pleasure, with the Movie Noose Reel providing the low-down on remakes, half-bakes, and well-dones. And still more to enjoy and bring back memories.

Witches’ Tales Issue Vol.4 No.6, 1972

"Ugh! You look like something we used to dissect in medical school…only worse!" or "I didn't have the heart to tell the poor guy he may lose both hands. I've always wondered if I could graft on new hands and make them work…SAY…those hands in the drawer?" You decide, in Bloody Ten Fingers. In the meantime, Jeremiah has an overbearing mother, but not for long, and Horror Harbor has that death by the soggy seaside fun you know you love, with art to die for.

Witches’ Tales Issue Vol.4 No.4, 1972

A Gypsy band of zombies, three men in a tub wreak terror and death, a corpse jumps up and buries somebody else, and a spider woman puts the bite on some suckers. Oh, and they managed to squeeze in a witch's curse for good measure. And the first three stories were never reprinted! So read them now! What's scarier than the stories? The inside front cover's ad, that's what.

Weird Issue Vol.6 No.7, 1972

Wade into The Murder Pool and lose some weight, spend a Night of Terror by mistake, and don't take finger rings from ghouls with big eyes. Your eyes don't deceive you: Ghoul Without Pockets was printed with pages 47 and 48 out of order. So read page 48 before 47. You may also notice that the cover is a poor cut and paste job from previous issues. Weird. Very weird.

Witches’ Tales Issue Vol.5 No.6, 1973

Eat the Flesh! Drink the Blood! gets my vote for the Creeper Keeper Award. "Hey! Get a load of that spider! It's like, HUGE!" Mike Howlett in his The Weird Indexes of Eerie Publications believes this story may be an original because he couldn't find a precursor. It would make an awesome radio horrordrama.
