Inside This Issue

The Addams Family snap their way onto Issue #78 in a full-color photo cover — TV’s creepiest, kookiest clan at the height of the craze. Inside, Ray Harryhausen’s brontosaurus battle from One Million Years B.C. shakes the earth, Monster World salutes the late Sir Cedric Hardwicke, and Hammer’s Horror of Dracula gets its due.

☠ Collector's Notes

The two monster Americas of the mid-’60s in one book: the Addams craze on the cover, Harryhausen’s dinosaurs inside. Issue #78 is a snapshot of the moment TV families and stop-motion epics split the kid audience between them.
