Famous Monsters of Filmland — Issue #94 — November 1972

This issue delivers a powerful mix of classic horror, Gothic literature, and monster history. It opens with Fang Mail, spotlighting fan reaction to the All-Bela Issue, then launches into a sweeping feature connecting Gorgo, Dorian Gray, Bela Lugosi, and Boris Karloff. A mysterious photo challenge follows before diving into the shocking Hammer film Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde.

Hands-on monster fun arrives with How to Make a Mummy, while prehistoric spectacle roars through In the Days of the Dinosaurs, celebrating the worlds of O’Brien and Harryhausen. Literary terror takes center stage with Murders in the Rue Morgue and a grotesque return of Dorian Gray.

The issue rounds out with fan-favorite departments including You Axed for It, packed with horror greats, a deep tribute in Fascinating Karloff Facts, the darkly humorous Graveyard Examiner, and wisdom from the crypt in Professor Gruebeard—a perfect snapshot of monster-kid culture at full throttle.
