Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, the #1 hit "Monster Mash," Aurora's
model kits, TV shows (Shock Theatre, The Addams Family, The
Munsters, and Dark Shadows), Mars Attacks trading cards, Eerie
Publications, Planet of the Apes, and more!
It features interviews with James Warren (Creepy, Eerie, and
