Famous MonstersForryeverDying to keep the memory of Famous Monsters of Filmland alive!
Inside This Issue
Issue #89 leads with Zandor Vorkov’s electric-eyed Dracula from Dracula vs. Frankenstein — Al Adamson’s gloriously unhinged 1971 monster mash, and one of the last films of the beloved Lon Chaney Jr. The dossier wanders from the clay colossus of The Golem to Vincent Price’s art-deco vengeance in The Abominable Dr. Phibes, with “The Black Heart of Dorian Gray” waiting in the back pages. Pure shaggy early-’70s FM.
