Famous Monsters of Filmland #26

Jan-64 Uncredited
Inside This Issue

#26 rides the early-’60s TV-horror wave with Roger Elwood’s “Inside Outer Limits,” but the real collector bait is “The Return of Frankens-ten,” a look back at the 1910 Edison Frankenstein, the very first film version of the Monster, alongside part two of the magazine’s sprawling King Kong history.

☠ Collector's Notes

Film scholarship before anyone called it that: the look back at Edison’s 1910 Frankenstein — then a half-remembered ghost, decades from rediscovery — is the sort of piece that made FM the genre’s memory. Issue #26 also keeps the serialized King Kong history rolling.
