#66 is a heavy reprint issue built around an Old Dark House filmbook — James Whale’s 1932 proof that Universal horror could be witty and genuinely frightening at once — with Verne Langdon’s “The Apes of Wrath” along for the ride. One for collectors who prize the deeper Universal cuts.
A woman in the grip of unseen terror — a painting from James Whale's THE OLD DARK HOUSE, the film that proved Universal horror could deliver wit and genuine dread at the same time.
When Issue #66 ran its Old Dark House filmbook, the film itself was nearly impossible to see — FM was covering a ghost. Issues that preserved the memory of then-unavailable films did real cultural work, and this is a prime example.
