Monster Times Issue 29
December 1973

/ Magazine Morgue / Leave a Comment

Lots of good reading in this 29th issue of The Monster Times. House of Frankenstein, From Hell It Came, TMT TV Cartoon Guide (anyone remember the glory days of Saturday morning animated shows?), and The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, are covered. In Meet Ms Monster, author Ruth Martin shares her visit to Japan, and in Death is a Way of Life (part 2, I'll have part 1 in issue 28 up soon), a much needed look at death in horror movies is explored. And…David Stidworthy (an alias if I ever saw one!) gives us The Celluloid Snowman, a rundown on Yeti in movies.

Chilling Tales of Horror Vol. 2, No. 4
June 1971

/ Magazine Morgue / Leave a Comment

More Chilling Tales of Horror for you: more monsters, dead things, and wicked happenings, all in bold black and white. Color would just spoil the gorgeous line art that's neatly paneled across the pages. Of course, this issue's bondage and torture cover is a lot more, umm, spicy and naughty than the actual stories themselves, but hey, monsters and near-naked women sell, sell, sell. Unless you rather see a near naked man on the cover, of course. Hell, I say we put both a near naked man and a near naked woman on the cover, with leering monsters (better make them near naked, too), and cover all the bases. That's marketing, baby. I wonder how many monster kids got a whoopin' from their moms back in 1971 when they saw this issue in the drawer.

Those Magnificent Men in
Their Flying Machines (1965)

/ Pressbooks (Non-Horror) / Leave a Comment

Sure, that's right, the women don't count. Just the boys and their flying machines. This movie only recreates the Edwardian Age for Magnificent Men, and we all know women weren't magnificent or funny in the Edwardian Age, right? Yes, movies have come a long way indeed. But still fun once you get past the 1960s male-centric nature of it.

El Pantano De Las Animas (1957)
Mexican Lobby Card

/ Azteca/Mexican Lobby Cards / Leave a Comment

Looking at this Mexican lobby card for Swamp of the Lost Souls, you wouldn't think a gill man is prowling around or this is a horror western. Beautiful illustration and colors are marred by a too-large inset scene (and a boring one at that): would prefer a scene of the gill man.
