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.
Cover Spotlight
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.

Thumb Thru Thursday 4:48
Uncredited Scream and Scream Again ad-art cover; the film first-billed Price, Lee and Cushing together yet they barely share the screen; inside, Forry's tender Tor Johnson obituary "The Black Sleep Takes Tor Johnson" + The Vampire Lovers synopsis; Warren's reprint-heavy 1970s
☠ 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.
