This issue – another near-as-dammit to 110-pager – we skip over the usual editorial comments and get right down to the nitty-gritty with Eric Messina’s cover review of the fave-rave ’70s TV monster movie, GARGOYLES; Christos Mouroukis contributes Pt. 1 of his two-part overview of Charles Band/Full Moon’s popular PUPPET MASTER series; “The Strange Swamp Monsters of William Grefé” are covered by John Harrison; Steve Bissette casts a nostalgic eyeball back over some vintage monster comics/mags, mainly focusing on the work of artist Jerry Grandenetti; Tim Paxton lovingly covers a whole heap of obscure Hindi horrors in his article entitled “The Monster Movies of Mohan Bhakri”; in her piece “Teenagers, Vampires & The Sutherlands”, Dawn Dabell sinks her eyeteeth into a pair of youth-oriented Hollywood fangfests from recent decades past (namely THE LOST BOYS [1987] and BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER [1992]); in “The Many Lives of King Kong”, Daniel Best gives us the lowdown about the great ape’s forays Down Under (i.e., in Australia); and Les Moore rassles up a sweaty 6-pack of Mexi-monster movies, all featuring that masked wrestling icon Blue Demon. Individual titles reviewed this ish include yet another Blue Demon epic, ARAÑAS INFERNALES (1966), plus WYRMWOOD: ROAD OF THE DEAD (2015), THE HORROR STAR (1983), NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES (1969), THE STRANGENESS (1980), BIOHAZARD (1985), and HARBINGER DOWN (2015). Other writing and/or artwork contributors to M! #20 were: Matthew E. Banks, Jolyon Yates, Christian Colbert, Matt Bradshaw, Dennis Capicik, Subhajit Sen, Ian Richardson, Michael Hauss, Brian Harris, and Steve Fenton. Rounding out this jam-packed issue, as per usual, we give detailed information about films’ video availability… Oh yeah, and the mag is lavishly-illustrated, as always!
