Issue #90’s heart is a farewell: “The Black Sleep Takes Tor Johnson,” an obituary for the hulking Swede whose face launched a thousand nightmares. Around it the early-’70s horror wave rolls in — Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing sharing one screen in Scream and Scream Again, Price’s witch-hunt Cry of the Banshee, and Hammer’s sapphic landmark The Vampire Lovers.
Ad art from SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN — the 1970 AIP shocker that somehow crammed Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee into the same film and still left audiences wanting more of each.
The Tor Johnson obituary (“The Black Sleep Takes Tor Johnson”) is the key reference content here. Its slate — Scream and Scream Again, Cry of the Banshee, The Vampire Lovers — documents the British horror wave at its 1970 crest.
