DADDY'S LITTLE DRACULAS

1 was frightened out of my mind this past Halloween when I saw what looked like three miniature monsters roaming the streets of Glassboro, New Jersey. Each one of these tiny terror- tots was wearing a mask that would have I think it scared Chaney himself! is terrible to have little children growing up in an atmosphere of monster and horror, and I made it my business to pay a call on the parents of these unfortunate little boys. Imagine how I felt when I found out their own father is George Prenoy, the Art Director of FAMOUS MONSTERS! It seems that these youngsters {ages 3, 5, and 7) know everything there is to know about monsters - and they LOVE 'em! Needless to say I left the Prenoy home with a better understanding and appreciation of monsters. How about letting your readers see a picture of these three young "devils?"

CHANEY LETTER
THANKS FROM ZACH
On behalf of the Zacherley Pan Club members and the Executive Board, I wish to commend you for your excellent We articles concerning Zacherley. Lon Chaney Sr. is my favorite. Out I am sure it is difficult to obtain pictures of him sincere dates back (Ed. note: Yes, he quite a while. was born some years before Lon Chaney Jr! ) I consider myself a little bit of an authority on Chaney Sr, since I have 41 fotos and a list of 31 of his fnovies plus a scrapbook devoted entirely to him.

sincerely appreciate your help in making Zach what he is today, and we would like to honor you with the office of Honorary Life Vice-President. Pleaselet us know if you will accept, and again - thank you for your help,

BRAVO PROM BRAZIL

1 can tell you that here in Brazil your great magazine is very much loved, and the best esample of it 30 far was the Monster from the Black Lagoon, which cane 'way down from the Amazon to our city to buy his copy. (He came by Ghost Train; ticket price--2 pints of blood per hot seat. Of course, you can travel in a cold damp comfortable coffin, but the price is exorbitant: 2 copies of PM, and you know how difficult it is to get one! ) As you can see with your own 3 eyes, I am a noble monster (Count Van Pire to you); you can see that from the blue blood which I use in my bawlpoint pen.

TRUNK fflTH POIER We thought you'd be interested to hear what happens when you leave a copy of PM in the trunk of a car overnight. The enclosed picture shows the awful consequences. It took us 3 days to kill the beast, and I still wake up screaming.

the birth of the beast

"King Kong" was the last fictional work of the noted mystery writer, Edgar Wallace. Later, Qooper's wife, under her maiden name of Delos W. Lovelace, turned the story into a 249 page book, a collectors' item much sought after today by fans of Kong who want to read every word about their Hero. And in the words of Cooper himself

tepid, tropical

"We who have seen the last remnants of a prehistoric age slithering in the slime of mud flats, have often wondered
what would happen
if

some thunderous

re-

versal of nature made possible the rebirth of ancient animals. There are many beasts still alive especially those of the lizard family that closely resemble the prehistoric monsters. What would happen, now, if dinosauria came back to life and giant apes again beat their massive breasts in a drumming defiance

of

mankind?

"You may say, 'What took millions of years to destroy would take another million or so to bring back.' Granted! But isn't it an intriguing idea? So the improbability factor, instead of alarming us, encourages a further exploration of the subject."

just imagine
"Suppose there existed a tropical island unvisited by man and unchanged by time that still harbored one of those monstrous animals which roamed the earth before the man? An ape came to mind. Dinosaurs and pterodactyls of the Jurassic Age were alright as menacing influences on our imaginary Skull Island, but they were clumsy and. inhuman whereas apes are similar to
existence of

man." So a

gorilla, 8 times normal height, grew in the mind of Cooper and his associate, Ernest B. Schoedsack. Before they were through, 30 bears sacrificed their skins so that audiences could be sacred out of theirs, and 6 men got the weirdest jobs of their careers bunching together inside the 36 ft. chest of Kong to operate the 85 motors that animated his 6^/2' wide face with its 10" teeth and foot-long ears!

via TV, he blew up a hurricane of excitement. So great was the demand for the King of Creatures that his craggy features were telecast no less than 16 times during a single 7 day period.

Graves fled in a jet-propelled baby-carriage over the Carpathian Mountains, across the Did Sea, around the daric side of the Equator and, finally, over Niagara Falls in a barrel arriving breathless in Florida, where he immediately went into seclusion in a cozy little retreat known as The Dungeon, a kind of hole with wall-to-wall straw located beneath a giant rock near North Bay Village.

TIME?

"A weekly magazine?" some bright student answers ? Give that goof -off time to cool off by staying after school one hour and writing on the blackboard 100 times "I'm a clock-eyed
cookoo-bird
!"

Nor is time what you have on your hands when you have a watch on your wrist. The late, great Ray Cummings, who was at one time an assistant to Thomas Alva Edison himself, once defined Time as "what keeps
everything from happening at once!" The late (greatest) HGWells took time off from writing about The Invisible Man and Dr. Moreau's Island, of Lost Souls and The War of the Worlds to tell the terrifying tale of a traveler to the year 802,701, and Herbert George Wells' pal George Pal has put this remarkable adventure on celluloid.

The trouble with the year in which he eventually stops is. that in 802,701 A.D. the natives are overly friendly. They invite him to dinneronly it turns out he's supposed to be the dinner! He's been in plenty of hot water before, but he's not enthusiastic about giving a cannibal indigestion.

The people-eating creatures that George encounters are called Morlocks, and they are ugly brutes like pale grubs with spider-like
movements.
Well, the Morlocks are sort of like the rich or the rich monster's Mole People. nostrils flaring, teeth protruding, eyes almost blind and an albino-white covering of hair matting their shoulders, arms and legs, they are a sight that only a Mama Morlock could love. Their hands have only three misshapen fingers, and when they touch Weena, she recoils and screams in horror.

the secret of this Sphinx at peril to his life. Like all George Pal science fiction spectacles, this one has an exciting climax, and you will probably want to come back a second time to see the explosion that rocks the screen and the great fire afterwards that fries a number of the flesh-eating Morlocks in their own juices.

Paul Carlin, of Southampton, Penna., was a normal, healthy young man before sending for the back issues of FAMOUS MONSTERS.' However, last month he insisted on and ordering back issues 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 within a few hours of their arrival at Paul's he turned into the monster pictured home above. Needless to say, Paul is more than satisfied with the change. He had always wanted to transform himself into a monster. The only trouble is we haven't been able to figure out a way to change him back to normal. The

only thing left

wood and make a fortune

away

is for Paul to get out to Hollyin monster movies. with the background material learned from the pages of FM's back issues he is destined for immediate success!
