At about the 42 minute mark, Bobby mentions plans for a new live album and a new studio album. Did anything ever happen with those? Anything released?

My favorite magazine growing up in the late 60's / early 70's .😃

Awesome 💯❤😍😍

Damn Straight! Great upload. I been lovin' Klause Schultz 30 years now ! Oh, and Famous Monsters for forty !

Outstanding !!!! What memories this brings back & i still have some of my old issues from the 60s. Best magazine for monster & horror fans of my generation.

OH DOES THIS EVER BRING BACK WONDERFUL MEMORIES, I LOVED THE WARREN MAGAZINES, HAD ALL THE CREEPY BUT ONE, VAMPIRELLA BUT ONE, ALL THE EERIE, 1984/94 ALL, BUT FAMOUS MONSTERS WITH FORREST J ACKERMAN STARTED IT ALL FOR ME. AND I ONLY GOT BACK TO ABOUT ISSUE 38. BUT I DID FIND A USED BOOKSTORE OR TWO WHERE I FOUND QUITE A FEW STACKS OF ISSUES I WERE MISSING ESPECIALLY WITH ONE OF MY FAVORITE VINCENT PRICE!!! ANYWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD THIS FAMILIAR VOICE BEHIND ME , SAY " QUITE THE READING MATERIAL YOU HAVE THERE"! I SPUN AROUND AND IT WAS VINCENT PRICE HIMSELF, I SHEEPISHLY ASKED IF HE WOULD AUTOGRAPH MY FAMOUS MONSTERS FEATURING HIM AND HE LAUGHED AND PULLED OFF HIS GLOVE AND SAID SURE. WHAT A SWEET MAN HE WAS, I HAD HIM SIGN ABOUT SIX BOOKS, PLUS A HORROR BOOK HE WAS IN AND DID THE FORWARD. HE WAS DOING A READING OF EDGAR ALLAN POE AT THE THEATER THAT NEXT EVENING TIL AFTER THE WEEKEND!!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS P.S GOD OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING

I regret not buying more back issues when they were reasonably priced. You can find them on EBay but sums that are a little too rich for me nowadays. I had that poster of Barnabas Collins but like everything else got lost over time. I believe I have one of those Tales from the Crypt posters. That Jack Davis Frankenstein poster looks great.

My monthly bible in the early 70's. I wanted so much to buy one of those projectors advertised in the merchandise section as well as the films on sale. I thought at the time they were the complete films but I realised later they were only excerpts. I had fantasies of showing them on the wall in my bedroom, over and over, anytime I wanted. But money in the family was tight and wouldn't allow this luxury. As a kid these amazing covers as painted by Basil Gogos were a siren call for a kid obsessed with anything horror related. Many of the films featured were not readily available and would be decades before I got to see many of them. I will never forget the issue which featured Linda Blair in the full throes of demonic possession, face disfured and grotesque green tongue extended. I was about 9 to 10 at the time and it would be more than a decade before I had the opportunity to actually see it-it did not live up to the hype. In the 70's and 80's the magazine drifted away from horror and featured more science fiction articles. I still have a few of them but sadly those I bought earlier are long gone. The stupidity of youth. I will always have a soft spot for many of these films, good and bad. They made life in the suburbs a lot easier to take.

yes,. I truly 💘 the classic_ 🎥 monsters_(LOL!!!)😝😝😀😀😊😊☺☺☺☺🐍🐍😍😍😁😳😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😳😳😳😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

This brings back the very best of memories. I wish I held on to my copies. Thank you for posting this.

These covers were the stuff of a monster kid's dreams, especially the strikingly colorful, yet memorably gruesome Basil Gogos pieces. It's unfortunate the magazine came to rely on studio promotional stills during the Star Wars/Close Encounters/Alien era. It was soon after this I'd realised I'd outgrown the magazine, but I'll always remember it fondly.

Don't know why more people aren't loving this!

Starting to gain steam in the collectors market! Hang on to them if you have them especially in high grade ,,good investments !

funny, we have similar experiences with music. Hernando's Hideaway and Herb Albert whipped cream album which my dad had also. My dad was a tv radio repairman and they also sold records where he worked. Remember seeing that whipped cream album cover on the rack. Hard not to remember that sexy cover. But my dad made sure we had radios, record players, tvs and we were one of the first in our town to have color tv. My mom sang and played piano and organ. And an uncle who played bass, too who gave me an old Epiphone amp. Plus an older cousin who gave me records in the early days of 60's rock.

hey Brian , just got back to listen to this, only missed the start on WZRD. Funny coincidence, he mentions what recording equipment he used. The Tascam DP 24 porta studio is the same I use. The two tracks you played from my Soundcloud site were recorded on that. Great interview.

Brian, thanks again for offering this interview! I also like the way you included the various images in assembling this into a video.

John is a terrific writer and reviewer.

Thanks for posting his!

Yikes! I meant 12-string ACOUSTIC guitar in reference to Ralph Towner's album Solstice!! Brain cramp....brain cramp!

What's the point of this video ?

I remember buying some monster feet, Took over a month to get and they were pieces of plastic with rubber bands!

best cover arts ever
