“The article is fantastic, and reads so well with all the interspersed photos. Great job! This is, without a doubt, the most complete article I\u2019ve ever seen about Pet Sematary, its making, its reception and its afterlife. There\u2019s stuff in your article that I\u2019d either forgotten about (the writers\u2019 strike) or never knew to begin with! The quotes from Fred Gwynne, Mary Lambert and Stephen King are really impressive.”<\/span>

Classic Monsters of the Movies issue 16 is another beautiful journey through classic horror cinema, taking in beloved favourites and lesser-known gems with a combination of class-leading image reproduction, information and commentary that\u2019s made it a hit around the world.<\/p>\n

The front cover image is a breathtaking Daniel Horne oil painting of Victor Pascow from 1989\u2019s Pet Sematary<\/em>, and we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the terrifying original movie with a detailed feature on how Stephen King\u2019s novel came to the screen. In a Classic Monsters exclusive, Brad Greenquist shares his memories of playing the grotesque guardian angel, while we explore the movie\u2019s enduring significance in horror culture.\u00a0Of course, classic horror fans love this movie for another of its stars too, the endearingly enigmatic Fred Gwynne as Jud Crandall – Brad also fondly recounts his experiences of working with this legend.<\/p>\n

\"Classic<\/p>\n

Cat lovers among you will adore the Killer Kitties feature in this issue. Pet Sematary<\/em>\u2019s creepy Church is just the beginning in a rundown of the freaky felines that have scared us, warned us and sometimes even rescued us throughout the history of horror movies, from Little Maria\u2019s kitten in Frankenstein<\/em> (1931) to the sinister sentry of Hammer\u2019s The Shadow of the Cat<\/em> (1961) and beyond. Meanwhile, actor Holmes Herbert is the subject of this issue\u2019s in-depth biography – his extensive body of work took in the likes of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde<\/em> (1931), Mark of the Vampire<\/em> (1935) and The Ghost of Frankenstein<\/em> (1942) to name but a few.<\/p>\n

Medicine and mysticism take a turn for the gruesome as we delve into the history of Bel-Air Productions, who among other things brought us the mystery of The Black Sleep<\/em>, the 1956 gothic horror that always makes for exciting viewing. And more recently, Hammer put a fresh spin on ancient mythology in 1964\u2019s The Gorgon<\/em> – our discussion of this much-loved niche thriller is packed with information and gorgeous stills that bring this eerie spin on classical folklore to life.<\/p>\n
