Collector's Notes

Famous Monsters of Filmland #115, an April 1975 Warren Publishing standout edited by Forrest J. Ackerman, unleashes Basil Gogos' iconic painted cover of Henry Hull's snarling werewolf from the groundbreaking 1935 Universal chiller Werewolf of London, a lupine portrait that captures the film's foggy London frights and tragic transformations. Horror hounds prowl through a spellbinding filmbook on Brian De Palma's Phantom of the Paradise, blending rock 'n' roll with Faustian opera terror, a reprinted retrospective on the cinematic schizoid saga of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from Stevenson to Spencer Tracy, a euphoric review of the first-ever Famous Monsters Convention that birthed a fandom revolution, the fang-tastic "I Love Vampires" ode, and the premiere installment of "The Book of Bela" chronicling Lugosi's undying Dracula legacy. This white-paged vintage horror magazine gem stands as a collector's moonlit must-have for enthusiasts of 1970s genre journalism and timeless werewolf lore.
