'Kongfidentially Yours " ("King Kong," in

my opinion, had a miserable plot, and

later, more adut phantasies from rival

studios made better use of special ef-

I liked the forthcoming film information

best of all in #6 but think you over-

looked a few tempting items: "The Devil's

Eye " from Ingmar Bergman, "The SnowQueen," "Eyes Without a Face" and "TheTestament of Dr. Cordelier." The 'artis-

"Svengali," seems to be In for a come-back, tho I doubt if any of the new artis-

a greater quatermass

So far we have been privileged to see twoBritish-born "Quatermass" TV serials turped

into sterling motion pictures : the first im-

port, possibly the best monster film of the

year, several seasons ago, was THE CREEP-ING UNKNOWN; its splendid sequel. EN-EMY FROM SPACE. (THE CREEPINGUNKNOWN is now turning up on television,

and is on no account to be missed.) BrianDonlevy plays the unorthodox Dr. Quater-

mass in both, and now we're hoping he'll be

invited back to England to star in a filmiza-

tion of the immensely popular tele-serial,

River, at the headwaters of the mightyAmazon, is the mysterious experimental lab-

oratory of Dr. Alexander Thorkel, rare civil-

ized man in the Iquitos territory. The Peru-vian natives thereabouts are suspicious andsuperstitious. The weird lights and soundsthat come from Thorkel's jungle retreat makethe natives restless.

Thorkel gets guests

A scientific party arrives to be of assist-

ance to the doctor (played by Albert Deckerwith a Yul Brynner butch). They are;

Bill Stockton, mineralogist.

Dr. Rupert Bulfinch, biologist.

Mary Phillips, the biologist's assistant.

And Steve Baker, prospector looking for

Inca gold who agrees to lead the other 3 to

Thorkel.

man or devil?

And what of Thorkel himself—what im-

pression did he make? Well, let us look at

him thru the eyes of Charles Strong, whoActionized him in the book

:

He might well have seemed to anignorant native like someone akin to

a demon. His burly body was com-pletely encased from head to foot,

when he worked (which was long, andlate into the nite), in lead laboratory

armor. When he looked out of his

radioactive room while an experiment

was in progress, his bare round face

had an air of unreality about it. Helooked (said the author) "like somegreat uncouth monster, whose eyes re-

flected the weird green light from the

mica window."

fUk mistake, big trouble

The recently arrived foursome is only dis-

playing normal scientific curiosity but Dr.

Thorkel (who probably was a little odd to

begin with) seems to feel that they're pokingtheir noses too much into his business. So hedecides to shorten them. Not just their noses,

but their whole bodies.

In short order, Bill, Mary, Dr. Bulfinch

and Steve, plus Dr. Thorkel's man-of-all-

work, Pedro, are hustled under the doc's

shrinkoscope, and the next thing you knowthey're as small as 5 little all-day suckers!

In fact, they're so small that if they tried

to lick a stamp, the stamp would probablylick them instead

!

technicians get in licks

Now comes the good part, the part that

made the Special Effects wizards sweat. Mostof you monster fans were around a couple

of seasons ago when THE INCREDIBLESHRINKING MAN was doing his stuff, andyou remember how great that was. Or maybe

you caught one of the telecasts of THEDEVIL DOLL, the A. Merritt chiller based

on his book "Burn Witch Bum!", in which

the menace was on a miniature scale. Well,

the illusion of littleness was very large in

this flick, very large; like straight out of

greatsville; like something described in

Henry Hasse's "He Who Shrank" or RayCummings' "Girl in the Golden Atom" or

Festus Pragnell's "Green Man of Kilsona"

or Weaver Wright's "Micro-Man"

cot-astrophe

First off there's this cat, see, an evil feline

named Satanas, that looks as large (and

ferocious) as a sabre-tooth tiger to the little

folk. It'd be no joke for any of them to meetup with this hungry tabby: one cat nip andthey'd have had it! In one breath-taking

sequence they cower in a cactus-forest as

Satanas attacks them, their lives being saved

when a dog about the size of a baby dinosaur

scares the cat away.

They're even menaced by a king-sized

chicken that gives them a run for their

money. Juvenile delinquent teenagers in later

years did it with cars, but this sequence wasprobably the first film of a chicken race.

the greater alligator

But the worst is yet to come for the 5 man-nikins; they run into an alligator which, in

their reduced circumstances, looks about as

big as an atomic submarine

!

Caught in the fury of a tropic thunder-

storm, they are pelted by raindrops as big

as bricks ! As Henry Kuttner said at the time,

"It was a rain of terror."

Every creeping, crawling, swimming, fly-

ing, living thing now is a potential source of

danger to them, and even many inanimate

objects can cause them fear.

job for jack giant-killer

What these wee ones really need is a

friendly giant to sock the doc. They're pretty

hampered with nothing much more to fight

him with than a pin, a broken pair of

scissors, and little things like that.

Once they almost get him with a shotgun,

by pulling a string (big as a rope) attached

to the trigger; but the moment, and the op-

portunity, pass.

At last they get a desperate inspiration.

The PEN is Mightier than the Sword! Janice is ready to bawlnow that she sees the point. And this is one ballpoint that

doesn't give a Lifetime Guarantee!

Dr. Thorkel is so dreadfully near-sighted

that he once made a mistake and shaved the

mirror instead of his face. For this reason

he keeps a number of pairs of glasses handyaround the lab. The midgets determine to

hide all of them. They've just about got the

job done when Thorkel wakes up. In an en-

suing skirmish one lens gets smashed on his

last pair.

Leaving him one-eyed.

the mites and the mighty

Now it's war, war to the finish, betweenCyclops and the teeny-agers.

Vi-sion blurred, Thorkel goes berserk,

shooting his gun, throwing furniture, turn-

ing the rootn topsy-turvy. In his near-blind

rage he stumbles and falls into a well, butat the last moment clutches the rope on the

windlass.

It is Steve Baker who risks his life to

charge the Cyclops and make him fall to his

death. The giant's day is done. Now he'll

never create that army of little spies, sub-

miniature sabgoteurs and "toy" soldiers that

he had blueprinted in his brilliant but de-

ranged brain.

mLABSthe labratory story!

A rare fofo from DR. X. This was the story of the madoctor who pot ol) his "x" in one basket.

Boris KarlofF, as THE MAN WHO COULD NOT HANG, demonstrates his Artificioi Heart machine. Shortly

after this picture was taken, his assistant accidentally knocked the machine off the table, and was fie

ever brokenhearted!

They had a hard time making up their mind who* to call this film. It was variously known as "TheHouse on the Square" (Berkeley Sc|uare), "Man of Two Worlds" and "Journey to the Past" till finally

released as I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU. That's the late Tyrone Power manipulating the waldo at the right.

"We throw the electrode, Fritz!" cries Colin Clive (as Victor Frankenstein) ig i.a. imt^iant, Dwight Frye,

as they make their successful try at bringing the FRANKENSTEIN monster to life in the first of the

entire series.

lab at first sight

Consider: how could Franken ever have

made a stein without a laboratory?

Where would Donovan have parked his

brain without a laboratory?

Where would Dr. X have got all his fresh

aiches without a lab? On his poultry earnings

you have to hen it to him that he made a

down payment on his first test tube when he

was only 10. His first experiment: to goNature one better and, instead of getting

down off a duck, get down off a hippopota-

mus. And tiying to accomplish this was com-

plicated by the fact that at the time he

couldn't even spelt hippopotamus, let alone

climb up on one.

Chief villain on Planet Atoma makes use of his super-sonic electronic rodiophonic vocacaster (on PlanetEarth known as a mike) in a Columbia serial.

While DONOVAN'S BRAIN floats in its nutrient bathnearby, the heroine of the Curt Siodmak film reads asci-fi magazine, blissfully unaware that lurking directlybehind her is The Monster that Goofed Up the World-our beloved Editor, Forrest J. Ackermon.

That guy in THE FLY did, and lost hishead.

Blabbermouths in Lugosian labs invariablylost their wives.

Talk-too-muchniks in Karloffian labs fre-quently lost their lives.

Of course every young assistant must workin a lab, else where would he meet the Sci-entist's Beautiful Daughter to whom he mustinevitably lose his heart? The obvious advan-tage to losing your heart in a mad scientist'slaboratory is that it is never very difficult toget a fresh one.

Also present and accounted for are suchgoodies in the way of labbies as

the audience— years before the advent ofOdorama or Schozzoscope. . . .

KarloflF's curious seance-fiction lab in theectoplasmic DEVIL COMMANDS. . . .

The multicolored labs of Dr. X and LionelAtwili in THE MYSTERY OF THE WAXMUSEUM and the guy in THE FLY.

Mother of a Member of the FAMOUS MONSTERS CLUB gets an unexpected call from a Cousin ofCount Dracula. Seems her son had tried to fool Igor by signing hts oppllcation coupon with raspberryjuice instead of blood!

2550 County Line RoadChesterland, Ohio

Friday the 13thDear Blood Brothers:

Unaccustomed as I am to public creeping, I, Count Scalpela, feelthat I must make an issue thru this, my favorite magazine, of animportant topic: the scarypeutic value of togetherness for those whosuffer the pangs of apartness from humanity due to the maladyknown as Draculitis.

As a horrorble example of enduring togetherness, may I introduce toyou, brave readers, myself and my bewitching bride. Plum O'Hagan.PLUM PUDDING

Plum is the original Black Irish ban-she, a tasty morsel (not tobe confused with mortal) whose bat-squeak giggle is in defrightfulcontrast to my tomb-deep Ghest-tqnes. We suit one another frightf oullywell: she, with bat blood in her veins, is understandably flighty; I,the son of a coffin-maker, am understandably grave.

We have been playful and slayful together, the O'Hagan and I,for close to 5 centuries now. Referring to us in her column. Noosefrom Horrorwood . Heada Chopper said: "This couple may last."MARRIAGE BLISS-TERS

Don't let me mislead you, however: we have had our hideouslysunshiny moments when-our uniquely grisly romance has almost lost itsharm. Experts warned us that after the first century of marriageboredom might set in, but we never imagined it might be such agrizzly bore. Almost un-bear-able. Apparently Plum and I were notbatting about enough together at nites—she began to feel the grass wasgrimmer on the other side . . . where the cemetery was. In a word, myabhorred bride of a mere 100 summers began to cast sheep's eyes (thewhole eyeball!) at a Youngarian upstart (that's a young Hungarian!)

m^mm^ ^ KHfum^g^

-aself Spatula or something of the sort. The fact that he

responded when she made cat's eyes at him was h is fatal mis-stake, if

you know what I mean, and I'm sure that you do.

FAMILY HARM-MANYOf course our little clammily would not be complete without an

offspring in the midst of our black magic circle. Our Little LeagueVampire (Moony Boy, as we fondly call him) is a sharp little mosquito,

captivatingly harming and constantly humming from sun-down to sun-up.

Yes, our son is always the first to rise when the sun sets.

And then, to make a real ^gathering of our togetherness, there is

my mummy-in-law. She is nine or tana times older than I—but leaf us

talk about her on another occasion. Suffice it to say that she wasoriginally known as Little Egypt at the World's Pharaoh of the

13th Dynasty.Tana's, anyone?
