Inside This Issue
Luis Dominguez paints the skull of Amicus’ Tales from the Crypt for Issue #93. Inside, FM salutes the late Sir Cedric Hardwicke, revisits Son of Kong and the 3-D oddity The Mask, and reruns “Monster Kicks on Route 66,” the television episode that marked Boris Karloff’s last turn in the Frankenstein makeup. A “King Kong Is Coming Back” teaser keeps one eye on the future.
