Famous Monsters of Filmland #88

Jan-72 Photograph
Inside This Issue

A rare photographic cover marks FM following horror onto 1970s television. #88 leans into Night of Dark Shadows, the stranger, gothic-dread second feature spun off the hit series, and marks the passing of Michael Rennie with an obituary for the man who played Klaatu in The Day the Earth Stood Still.

☠ Collector's Notes

Klaatu, mourned among monsters: the Michael Rennie farewell gives Issue #88 a science-fiction gravity beyond its Dark Shadows beat — and quietly completes the DS trilogy begun at Issue #52. TV-gothic collectors finish the set here.
