Ed Wood’s strangest gift to Bela Lugosi gets the filmbook treatment in Issue #131 — Bride of the Monster, octopus and all — alongside “Lugosi’s Seldom Seen Film Files” for the deep-cut devotee. Karloff goes “Boris in Bedlam,” “Creatures of the Watery Deeps” opens an aquatic-monster series, “Around the World with AIP” tours the drive-in empire, and a color photo of Christopher Lee’s Dracula fronts the whole affair.
A color photo of Christopher Lee as Dracula — blood on the fangs, red eyes blazing — the raw ferocity that made Hammer's Count the most dangerous vampire in cinema.
Photo covers dot this stretch of the run, and Issue #131’s Hammer shot fronts an issue collectors value for its rarities: seldom-seen Lugosi film coverage and the Ed Wood Bride of the Monster filmbook. Aquatic-monster theming gives it a distinct flavor.
