Inside This Issue
#28 is built around a full Island of Lost Souls filmbook — the 1932 H.G. Wells adaptation long banned in Britain — paired with a Manster filmbook and “The Most Horrible Frankenstein,” a look at the rarely-seen French version. A deep dive for the pre-Code-horror collector.
Cover Spotlight
Bela Lugosi in ISLAND OF LOST SOULS — the mad doctor's tortured creation staring out with those impossible eyes, captured in an uncredited painting of one of Lugosi's most haunting performances.
☠ Collector's Notes
Coverage you couldn’t get elsewhere: Island of Lost Souls had spent decades banned in Britain when Issue #28 gave it the filmbook treatment, and the “French Frankenstein” piece chased a version almost nobody had seen. FM as the era’s only window.
