Famous Monsters of Filmland #90

May-72 Poster Art
Inside This Issue

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.

☠ Collector's Notes

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.
