Famous Monsters of Filmland #67

Jul-70 Vic Prezio
Inside This Issue

Issue #67 turns to the dark arts: “Witches and Demons Are Among Us,” a tour through “Dens of Demons,” and the Karloff-and-Lugosi The Black Cat — all under Vic Prezio’s brooding cover of Lon Chaney Jr. from the British chiller Witchcraft. Occult pulp with a candle lit at both ends.

Lon Chaney Jr. in WITCHCRAFT — the 1964 Lippert production that wrapped old-school curse and vengeance in a fog-drenched Gothic atmosphere — brought to the cover in paint.

☠ Collector's Notes

The occult wave, timestamped: witches, demons, and devil-lore filling a 1970 issue — years before The Exorcist made it mainstream. Issue #67 reads now like the genre’s mood ring changing color.
