La Methode Revue De Cinema No. 9

/ Magazine Morgue / Leave a Comment

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.

Ben Cooper Belfry the Bat Halloween Costume

/ Halloween Costume / Leave a Comment

Museumoftheodd on eBay has come up with a cute little oddity, indeed, from Ben Cooper: Belfry the Bat. Imagine yourself flying around Halloween evening dressed as Belfry, filching candy from door to door, quickly, before the zombie clowns walk up the driveway and scare the old folk out of their wits and walkers. Makes you kind of miss the good old days, don't it?

All About Star Trek Fan Clubs No. 3, 1977

/ Magazine Morgue / Leave a Comment

In the 1970s, Star Trek was hot. Judging by the franchise owner's less than planet-shaking attention given this year to the 5oth anniversary of the landmark television series, I doubt they experienced any of the 1970s love-fest for all things Trek.

Fanstastic Monsters of the Films Vol. 1 No. 6

/ Magazine Morgue / Leave a Comment

In FMOTF number 6, Vincent Lewis, in his Horror of Dracula review, says "In comparison to Lee's deathly sinister portrayal, Lugosi's Dracula is today not only completely outdated but in many instances utterly ludicrous." I love both Lee and Lugosi and all I can say is Mr. Lewis's statement is ludicrous. One can argue thematics, varying character to sociological nuances, and tonally structured elements, but I doubt he knew what those were, so why bother? On a more positive note, horror host, the Outsider, (bet you didn't know about him!) of Nightmare Theatre is spotlighted, Bela Lugosi's filmography is listed, and The Shadow strikes back.
