Step back to the glow of the corner newsstand in September 1975 as Famous Monsters of Filmland Issue #119 opens its creaking covers to a glorious lineup of classic chills. This issue pays heartfelt tribute to Boris Karloff with one of his final major interviews, explores space-age terror in Night of the Blood Beast, and unleashes prehistoric mayhem with a deep dive into cinematic dinosaurs. From page one, it’s clear this is FM firing on all cylinders.
The monsters keep coming with a monstrific montage contest, a special reprint of The Hunchback of Notre Dame featuring Lon Chaney Sr., Charles Laughton, and Anthony Quinn, and a fright-filled stay at Horror Hotel alongside Christopher Lee. Lon Chaney Jr. rises once more as Dracula, while fan-favorite columns like You Axed For It deliver exactly what monster kids asked for—creeps, classics, and a few delightful shocks.
Topped off with a powerhouse cover painting by Ken Kelly, this issue captures everything that made Famous Monsters of Filmland a rite of passage: imagination, reverence for the legends, and pure monster joy. It’s the kind of magazine you read cover to cover, then flip through again, dreaming up model kits, posters, and midnight movies—proof that in 1975, monsters still ruled the castle.
