Ackerman spotlights an exclusive interview with horror icon John Carradine on his versatile monster roles from Dracula to the Mummy, a captivating profile of stop-motion legend Ray Harryhausen tracing his journey from monster fan to Academy Award-winning animator behind *The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad*'s Ymir, and interactive gems like "Mystery Photo" and "Brain Watching" quizzes that fueled the 1960s monster kid revolution.
