CASTLE of FRANKENSTEIN By Calvin T. Beck Publisher: Gothic Castle Publishing Company Vol. 4 No. 2 (No. 14) 1969 Used VERY GOOD+/-FINE CONDITION with the usual surface wear & slight rubbing to covers from book being handled read and stored. Actually a better and more mature attitude towards monsters horror science fiction movies and culture. COF was the high watermark of this genre of magazines. Especially since Famous Monsters of Filmland at the time was still stuck in preaching to the preteens while the original fans had grown up a bit. Oh we still bought FMof mostly out of habit sometimes simply because of wanting to maintain our collections. But it was always exciting and a treat to spot a new issue of Castle of Frankenstein and almost being unable to get home quick enough and crack it open and just read and read. COF never had the production value or distribution that Famous Monsters had so we had to make sure to hunt it down before anybody else got a copy. This issue has articles on Boris Karloff The Illustrated Man the causes and effects of German cinema Frankenstein Must be Destroyed and Star Trek. Also includes "My Life as a Monster by Boris Karloff" and an interview with Ray Bradbury. Cover depicts William Shatner as Captain Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as Spock. Please refer to scanned images- they are accurate and have not been edited or corrected and as always are worth at least a thousand words. Addition scans & information upon request.
