Castle of Frankenstein No. 7, 1965

Die, Monster, Die receives a set visit, director Joseph E. Levine's 25,000 dollar monster for Hercules and the Princess of Troy gets some love, and for the first time, COF brings out the critics for Tomb of Ligeia to spark up the letters column. The European horror scene is covered by Mike Perry, along with a blurb on the "bizarre" Avengers television show, and an opinion on the Lugosi versus Lee Dracula appears with the usual misfiring analysis.

Castle of Frankenstein No. 6, 1965

Lon Chaney Jr’s monstrous creations, The Munsters, and Christopher Lee kick off the 6th issue of Castle of Frankenstein. A timely article on Alfred Hitchcock (for me, that is: I had just watched the documentary, Hitchcock/Truffaut, and I’m reading the splendid book) is to die for, and a nostalgic look at Horror on the Air and those wonderful radio shows makes this a solid reading experience.

Castle of Frankenstein No. 5, 1964

Peter Lorre receives attention from Richard Bojarski and William K. Everson in issue 5 of Castle of Frankenstein. This issue also marks the last of the illustrated covers. The Monsters of Edgar Rice Burroughs are revealed by Richard A. Lupoff and The Evil of Frankenstein is duly noted with lots of pictures. Directors Arthur Lubin and Jean Cocteau receive recognition, too. (This copy courtesy of Professor Kinema.) Here's the comic book reader version:  Download Castle of Frankenstein Issue 5
