Inside This Issue
Issue #109 marks a turning point: the magazine’s first full Night of the Living Dead coverage, George Romero’s graveyard revolution finally getting its FM filmbook. Vincent Price takes the cover, painted by Basil Gogos for AIP’s Madhouse, previewed inside. A Son of Kong filmbook reprint, “Karloff Revisited,” and a look at TV’s “Horror Hall of Fame” special complete a bridge between horror’s past and its unquiet future.
Cover Spotlight
Almost certainly a Basil Gogos painting of Vincent Price from MADHOUSE — the 1974 AIP film where Price played a horror actor haunted by his own fictional monster. Art imitating life imitating art.
☠ Collector's Notes
Romero’s arrival in these pages gives Issue #109 a foothold in any zombie-era collection — ground-floor coverage of the film that rewrote horror. The Satanic Rites of Dracula back cover keeps the Hammer faithful interested too.
