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.
