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.

Get your pennies ready and stock up on these Baby Ruth treats  so you can be good to your gobblin' goblins on Halloween. 

Halloween 2016 Sighted at Walgreens

I saw these nifty Halloween goodies at the Walgreens in Crossville, Tennessee. I especially love the Frankenstein Monster, don't you? Notice the skeleton variety this year. Nothing says Halloween like a good old skeleton.

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
