Classic Monsters Magazine Issue #29

Now, there aren’t many monsters more iconic than Larry Talbot in his werewolf form, and this issue’s glorious cover art from Daniel Horne shows you what to expect from our main story, an exploration of the 1941 classic The Wolf Man. It’s a truly beloved movie and we pay it ample tribute in a lavishly illustrated, rewarding feature. From the film’s development as an all-new monster for Universal, through Curt Siodmak’s manufactured mythology, to the evergreen performance that turned Lon Chaney into a bona fide horror star, this captivating article will take you right back to the mist-shrouded Welsh forests in style. Packed with information and beautifully reproduced stills, it’s the perfect way to get stuck into Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #29.

Following this lycanthropic liaison we keep walking on the wild side, with a rundown of some of the many animal monsters who have stalked, hunted, devoured and generally menaced us throughout horror movie history. As well as straight-up wild animals like those seen in King Kong (1933) and The Birds (1963), we’ll look at what animals mean to us in a horror context. The animal kingdom has much to teach the denizens of horror movies, and not just that they need to run faster to get away. This thought-provoking article examines the roles animals play in our favourite horror films, whether it’s as antagonists, companions, heroes, or even in terms of the imagery they evoke. As you’ll see, the most unassuming animal can become a terrifying threat if the scriptwriter has the right idea.

Elsewhere in Classic Monsters of the Movies #29 you’ll find a decidedly more human presence, with our rich biography of actor Glenn Strange. His hugely prolific career was defined for many by his long-running role in TV series Gunsmoke, and he was a fixture of the western genre with countless appearances as assorted horsemen, but as horror fans we know and love him for his three big-screen portrayals of the Frankenstein Monster. Of course, that’s by no means the only monster character he’s played – films like The Mad Monster (1942) helped make him part of the fabric of the genre – and this beautifully illustrated feature shows that there was far more to the man than his on-screen work.

If toiling under the hot sun in all those westerns is a little dusty, why not cool down with a trip to the Theatre of Blood? The worlds of horror and comedy have seldom been combined to such fabulous effect as in this 1973 Vincent Price classic and our article is both illuminating and entertaining, lifting the curtain on the many themes and ideas that make this drama of excess such a treat. A star-studded extravaganza like this deserves its time in the spotlight, and Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #29 is only too happy to oblige. You’ll love this vibrant study of an offbeat favourite… just don’t have the pie.
