Famous Fantasy Films No. 1, 1965
While horror, fantasy, and science-fiction magazines crowded the racks at the corner store in the 1960s and 70s, fanzines grew in popularity as more fans became knowledgeable in the genre and rolled their own. Here's Famous Fantasy Films from 1965, courtesy of Professor Kinema, which addressed the following concern: "Are you sick and tired of puns? Are you vexed at seeing the same monster pictures and information repeatedly printed? Do you enjoy reading magazines which contain over 25% advertising? If these are your complaints, then Famous Fantasy Films will try to alleviate them."

Horrors of the Screen No. 3, 1964
From the Wikipedia entry on fanzines: "Alex Soma's Horrors of the Screen, Calvin T. Beck's Journal of Frankenstein (later Castle of Frankenstein) and Gary Svehla’s Gore Creatures were the first horror fanzines created as more serious alternatives to the popular Forrest J. Ackerman's 1958 magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland." Courtesy of Professor Kinema's archives comes issue 3 of Horrors of the Screen, murky fanzine printing and all. Articles include Edwin Schallert's How the Invisible Man Was Filmed, which delves into the special effects used to create the illusion of invisibility, Annette Florance's Peter Cushing. Steven Jochsberger recalls a birthday with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi's career coverage is continued in part 2 of William G. Obbagy's article.

La Methode Revue De Cinema No. 9
I don’t read French, but Professor Kinema visits Paris every year. He brings back a lot of good reading he finds in the book stalls. Here’s his copy of La Methode Revue De Cinema No. 9, which is full of great horror movies. While we were punning our way through the movies in the 1960s, the French took a more serious approach to our horrors. We caught up in the 1970s but I will always be grateful to the French fans and critics who saw the classic in our terrors before we did.

Collegeville Gorilla Halloween Costume
Go ape with this Collegeville Gorilla costume. If the mask looks familiar, that's because it's been repurposed a few times in other costumes. Not sure I like the color-scheme in this one since it's more a clown-gorilla vibe than a king of the apes gorilla vibe.
