Stephen King sits for an interview in Issue #164 — horror’s new master in the magazine’s pages — while Saturn 3 takes the cover with its rogue robot. “They’re Living Dolls” surveys manikins of menace, the Italian space-opera echo The Humanoid gets a look, and the “Futuria Fantasia Film Forecast” glimpses what’s coming — The Howling, Alligator, and a young David Cronenberg’s Scanners among them.
A blue-tinted still of Kirk Douglas under attack from the deranged robot Hector in SATURN 3 — the 1980 British sci-fi thriller, atmospheric and unsettling in its better moments.
Issue #164 quietly previews horror’s next five years — Scanners, The Howling, Alligator — and carries a Stephen King interview for good measure. More forward-looking than its Saturn 3 cover suggests.
