Inside This Issue
The new horror arrives: Issue #111 brings The Exorcist into the magazine — complete with drawings by thirteen-year-old reader Paul Clemens — behind a Basil Gogos cover that met the 1970s head-on. From there the issue runs the genre’s full span: a Nosferatu filmbook reaches back to Max Schreck’s 1922 vampire while an early Young Frankenstein preview looks ahead to Mel Brooks’ loving parody, with Zardoz and Devils of Darkness in between and Forry walking Mary Shelley’s ground in “The Ackermonster in Frankenstein’s Domain.”
Cover Spotlight
Basil Gogos paints Linda Blair's Regan from THE EXORCIST — the possessed girl from Georgetown making her FM debut on one of Gogos's most genuinely unsettling covers.
☠ Collector's Notes
The Gogos Exorcist cover is one of the most talked-about of the magazine’s 1970s run, and the early Young Frankenstein coverage ahead of the film’s release adds time-capsule value. Issue #111 bridges classic monsters and the new horror, and collectors treat it accordingly.
