Famous Monsters of Filmland #37

Feb-66 Gray Morrow
Inside This Issue

A Gray Morrow cover fronts #37, but its prize is “An Hour With Karloff,” a rare extended interview with the master himself. Around it: a 20 Million Miles to Earth filmbook from the height of Ray Harryhausen’s stop-motion artistry, and “From the Head of Bloch Comes The Skull.” A strong issue for the Karloff collector.

☠ Collector's Notes

The other great Karloff sit-down: “An Hour With Karloff” belongs beside Issue #23’s “The King and I” on the short shelf of first-hand Karloff interviews FM landed. Gray Morrow’s cover adds a rarer hand to the artist roster.
