Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #22

This issue’s cover feature is celebrated by a truly jaw-dropping Daniel Horne oil painting of one of horror cinema’s most powerful images, the summoned beast in 1957’s Night of the Demon. Our detailed analysis of the movie’s production and themes, as well as its origins in the work of author M R James and its realisation on the screen by director Jacques Tourneur, is an absolute essential for any fan, deepening your appreciation of a beloved moment in horror history. There’s something evil in the trees, and it’s heading this way…

Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #22

After dodging demons you might want to relax with a glass of something cool, but our next feature shows why relaxing in the pub is rarely a good idea in horror films. Whether you’re a familiar local or an outsider, the village tavern is a focal point for many a classic monster movie, fo all sorts of reasons. From the mittelEuropean taverns of Universal yore to Hammer’s Cafe Kleve and The Slaughtered Lamb, we show that popping out for a pint has never been more threatening.

Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #22

Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #22 also has an eye on the real lives of horror’s stars, thanks to a biography of David Manners. His performances in some of Universal’s most iconic horror movies have made him an unforgettable part of the genre, but his career was packed with other highlights too, while his life away from the Hollywood glitz showed him to be possessed of a profoundly insightful nature. This feature will give you a greater understanding of the dashing leading man who shared the screen with some of the golden age’s most glamorous stars.

Further excitement awaits with our feature on 1945 sci-fi thriller The Man in Half Moon Street. Nils Asther and Helen Walker make for an unlikely and tragic couple in a story which revamps the fittingly ageless tale of Dorian Gray; this time, eternal life comes as a result of science and murder rather than mysticism. Adapted from a play, this remains one of the lesser-known interpretations of the story, so this richly illustrated and fact-packed article is indispensable for any horror fan looking to broaden their horizons and discover something new.

There’s more dastardly dabbling ahead with our study of Hammer’s iconic journey into the unholy, 1968’s The Devil Rides Out. Positively dripping in evil atmosphere thanks to Terence Fisher’s direction and a raft of effective performances including a noble star turn by Christopher Lee opposite Charles Gray as the evil Mocata, it never fails to immerse you in its story of good against evil. And while writer Dennis Wheatley didn’t approve, it gave moviegoers an absolutely unforgettable experience. Our richly illustrated and insightful article is another reason why Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #22 is not to be missed.

Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #22

We head away from the occult and back into the world of strange science for this issue’s Kitsch Corner, as Bela Lugosi discovers the dangerous side of cosmetics in 1940’s The Devil Bat. Outrageous, improbably and utterly unforgettable, it’s packed with all manner of horror movie essentials. It’s important to make sure you smell nice, even when there’s a monstrous bat terrorising the neighbourhood, but Dr Carruthers is surely up to no good…

Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #22

Of course, there’s plenty more to discover within the pages of Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #22. Our commitment to bringing you the most compelling articles means you’ll see your beloved favourites in a new light, as well as encountering movies you may be less familiar with. Designed with a clean timeless elegance, each page is printing using a full-colour process, so even black and white stills have a richness and depth to their tones that you don’t see with monochrome print. Coupled with the high production values, quality paper stock and beautiful finishing, this means every issue of Classic Monsters of the Movies is a true collector’s piece.

Issue 22 includes:

  • Night of the Demon – M R James’ haunting story Casting the Runes became a truly horrifying movie experience. We explore its production, its performances, and its terrifying legacy.
  • David Manners – he battled vampires and mummies as a horror hero, before becoming a suave, dashing leading man; yet his life had a depth that transcended the glamour of Tinseltown.
  • Terror taverns – the village pub is a centrepiece of so many horror movies, the backdrop to many a sinister plot point. We explore the significance of the humble tavern in the horror genre.
  • The Devil Rides Out – evil is in the air as Christopher Lee and Charles Gray engage in spectacular supernatural battle. We explore the many nuances of this unnerving demonic classic.
  • The Man in Half Moon Street – switching between horror and melodrama with a healthy dose of science fiction, this intriguing picture explores questions of morality where the stakes couldn’t be higher.
  • And more besides!

Inspired by the classic monster movie magazines of yore, but with a fresh modern twist and high-end production, Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #22 is a vibrant experience for any fan of classic horror movies.

    22 issues on, and ‘Classic Monsters’ has yet to put a foot wrong. Maintaining its very high standards for informative text and beautifully crisp layout and photos, the only problem with these magazines is not to consume it all in one long sitting.

    This edition begins a welcome new feature on horror art. My hope is that ‘Goatboy’ is featured in the near future, following his exemplary work on the ‘Nosferatu’ guide.

    Issue 22. It’s in the trees – it’s coming!

  2. Tom Meyer, PA, USA

    It looks like issue 22 will be another great read. I think you have the best magazine of its kind on the market.

  3. Ken Pye, Liverpool, UK

    I am thoroughly enjoying the magazines. They are entertaining and very informative; the range of photos is brilliant, and the production values and quality of the publications is absolutely excellent! Looking forward to receiving my next order, and to ordering more magazines in the future.
    Your customer service is brilliant too.
