Monster! #13: January 2015 - Hammer Studios Special

Our first ish of 2015 isnâ€™t quite as fat as our last of 2014, but it nonetheless still totals just over 100 pages, and is crammed to the gills with mucho monsterrific goodness! Not only does Louis Paul give his film-by-film rundown of Hammer Filmsâ€™ much-beloved FRANKENSTEIN series (all but one of which star Peter Cushing), but Troy Howarth follows with his similarly personalized chronological look back over Hammerâ€™s equally beloved DRACULA saga (all but one of which star Christopher Lee and many of which costar Cushing). In his nostalgic â€œfirst timeâ€ reminiscence, Eric Messina tells about how Lucio Fulciâ€™s ZOMBIE (1979) not only scared the hell out of himâ€¦but scarred him for life to boot! In addition, Stephen R. Bissette contributes an in-depth look back over / critical analysis of the three official cinematic adaptations thus far of Richard Mathesonâ€™s classic post-apocalyptic SF novel â€œI Am Legendâ€: namely, THE LAST MAN ON EARTH (1964), THE OMEGA MAN (1971) and I AM LEGEND (2007); also taking in a number of the various unofficial spinoffs/rip-offs and other related pop cultural ephemera along the way. Elsewhere, John Harrison covers the Topps companyâ€™s â€œDinosaurs Attack!â€ trading card series, and his article also includes an exclusive interview with DA! co-creator Gary Gerani. And last but by no means least, MONSTER! creator/coeditor Tim Paxton continues his ongoing coverage of Indiaâ€™s foremost family of monster moviemakers in â€œThe House of Ramsay, Pt. 8â€; this issue discussing their revenge-from-beyond-the-grave shocker, GHUTAN (2007). All this and a whole whack of other international monster movie reviews too â€“ including THE GIANT GILA MONSTER (1959), SNOWBEAST (1977), CURSE OF EVIL (1982), SPOOKIES (1986), CREATURES FROM THE ABYSS (1994), SOULKEEPER (2001), ALIEN APOCALYPSE (2005) and THE DEMONâ€™S ROOK (2013) â€“ as always with detailed video availability info provided in our back pages about all the titles covered within. In addition to those named above, M! #13 also includes written contributions from Greg Goodsell, Christos Mouroukis, Mike T. Lyddon and Steve Fenton; while MONSTER! / WENGâ€™S CHOP publisher poobah Brian Harris contributes this issueâ€™s guest editorial, with an invaluable assist from his darling daughter India!
