Inside This Issue

Klaus Kinski’s Nosferatu haunts Issue #153 in tinted photographs, with a synopsis of Werner Herzog’s brooding remake inside. Darth Vader himself — Dave Prowse — sits for an interview, Hammer gets a double filmbook (“Voodoo and Venom” on The Reptile, “The Black Death of Dracula” on Dracula A.D. 1972), and Forry remembers the day Boris Karloff died.

☠ Collector's Notes

Herzog’s Nosferatu arriving in a monster mag built on the 1922 original gives Issue #153 a poetic pull, and the Dave Prowse interview — the man inside Vader — rides the Star Wars wave. Hammer filmbook depth rounds it out.
