Definitive Book on Horror Movie Magazines?

Postby Cyberschizoid » 23 Jul 2010 07:35

Has there ever been a book published that covers in detail the history of horror movie magazines?

Or is there one in the works?

Hello Rick,

I wish there was such a book but trying to
gather all movie mags for this site since 1997
I have found no book on horror movie magazines.
I’ll try to remember below anything that comes close
to such a book.

The Great Monster Magazines: A Critical Study of the Black and White Publications of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s

This is more about comics and monster mags than about monster movie mags.
There are pages for such classics like Famous Monsters and Castle Of Frankenstein but no history of horror movie mags.

Forrest J Ackerman, Famous Monster of Filmland

Is about the creation of the magazine and the history of the first 50 issues.

But then again FM is not a horror movie magazine. It’s a monster movie magazine.

Thanks for the info!

Maybe I need to set myself the task of researching such a book! Looks like there's a gap in the market! 8)
