SCARY MONSTERS MAGAZINE #137
(W/A) Various
Our Scary Monsters 'Mammoth to Miniature Movie Monsters' issue puts the scary spotlight on classic monster, sci-fi, and fantasy films featuring humans and creatures big and small that haunted Monster Kids' nightmares and daydreams in the 1950s and '60s and still thrill us today - sometimes with practical effects that trump today's mega-budget CGI monster epics. Plus, popular columns Trilogy of Terror, Kaiju Korner, Strange Days, and comic strip Roomies from the Tomb. (STL338604) (C: 0-1-1)
