The first thing you\u2019ll notice about Classic Monsters of the Movies #37 is Daniel Horne\u2019s stunning cover art: as one of the industry\u2019s leading artists, Daniel knows how to capture atmosphere, and his depiction of Jenny Hanley and Christopher Lee in Scars of Dracula<\/em> is another stunning window on the world of Hammer Horror. In this issue\u2019s lead feature, Nige Burton chats to star Hanley about her status as a horror legend, her life in TV and film, and her memories of working alongside Christopher Lee. The \u2018final girl\u2019 archetype has become a familiar trope, particularly in more modern slasher movies, but Hanley was rocking that style in 1970 and didn\u2019t look back. In this fun, engaging piece packed with nostalgia, you\u2019ll gain an insight into what life in Hammer Horror\u2019s shadowy world feels like, from one of the people who was part of it.<\/p>\n

From the lurid gore and shocks of Hammer Horror, we head into the stylish and unsettling world of Italian horror with a captivating exploration of the horror films of Mario Bava. In a compelling piece exclusive to Classic Monsters of the Movies #37, award-winning screenwriter and playwright John Logan brings his own knowledge of the filmmaking process to an appraisal of seven particular Bava films, with an analysis of the ways in which each one managed to get under our skin and stay there. From the black and white witchcraft of Black Sunday<\/em> and the queasy claustrophobia of Black Sabbath<\/em>, to the warped science fiction of Planet of the Vampires<\/em> and the chic giallo chills of Blood and Black Lace<\/em>, the work of Mario Bava has a unique and irresistible sense of the macabre; this richly illustrated feature is an absolute essential for any fan of the man himself, or the wider world of Italian horror.<\/p>\n

As you explore Classic Monsters of the Movies #37, you\u2019ll find that every horror movie villain needs someone to rely on, and Jamie Jones introduces the servants, housekeepers and assorted skivvies who have played their part in horror cinema. Sometimes their roles have been literal – take, for example, butler Morgan from The Old Dark House<\/em>, or the sour-faced Miss Lu from The Cat and the Canary<\/em>. But there are also those hapless underlings, like the priest in Hammer\u2019s Dracula Has Risen From the Grave<\/em>, who are turned to the dark side and just can\u2019t help playing second fiddle to a much greater monster. This entertaining piece is packed with characters from across the whole spectrum of classic horror, so you\u2019re bound to find a favourite among all the eerie attendants and doom-laden domestics.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #37, we head back to the world of Hammer Horror, with David Huckvale\u2019s fascinating look at Blood From the Mummy\u2019s Tomb<\/em>. Adapted from Bram Stoker\u2019s story The Jewel of the Seven Stars<\/em>, this late entry into the studio\u2019s Mummy series boasts a wealth of memorable images, as well as strong performances from the likes of Valerie Leon and Andrew Keir. This exciting and provocative piece examines the movie\u2019s relationship to its source work, its often uncomfortable themes, and the sadnesses that surrounded it. Written in David\u2019s inimitably informative style, it\u2019s lavishly illustrated with gloriously restored stills, making it indispensable for any fan of Hammer\u2019s Mummy movies.<\/p>\n

As you\u2019ll see though, you don\u2019t have to tangle with the exotic undead to create an unforgettable horror movie. In the third part of his remarkable and meticulous examination of haunted house movies, writer and actor Steve Nallon probes the genre from its cobwebbed rafters right down to its dusty cellar where the bodies are hidden. As absorbing as it is entertaining, this instalment looks at the cinematic techniques that have come to characterise haunted house cinema – you\u2019ll relish the connections between what appear on the surface to be very different films, which are actually using a similar visual language to probe our fears. And as you\u2019ll see, the presence of these technical structures means it\u2019s all the more exciting when the rules are broken. It\u2019s another reason why Classic Monsters of the Movies issue #37 is an unmissable part of our horror movie magazine range.<\/p>\n

We also have some fairy-tale magic in store, as our Modern Classics section features Tim Burton\u2019s 1990 fantasy Edward Scissorhands<\/em>. As the mysterious Inventor, Vincent Price brings classic charisma to a most unconventional Frankenstein story, while stars Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder are the perfect leads for a skewed Gothic romance in the heart of stylised suburbia. Perhaps you remember it from its release, or maybe it passed you by, but one thing\u2019s for sure – this magical movie has lost neither its style, nor its uncanny ability to merge tender romance with director Burton\u2019s taste for darkness.<\/p>\n
