Famous Monsters of Filmland #27

Mar-64 Uncredited
Inside This Issue

#27 mixes the macabre and the morbidly funny: “Shadows of Dracula,” a memory piece on Bela Lugosi, shares space with “He Died On Halloween,” an obituary for the great character heavy Henry Daniell, and the continuing King Kong history. A varied issue for the classic-horror reader.

Cover Spotlight

The Cyclops from THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD — Ray Harryhausen's one-eyed titan brought to life in paint and improbably rendered in green. Only FM would embrace that particular creative choice.
