Classic Monsters: 10th Anniversary Edition

From the silents right through the ages of Universal, Amicus and Hammer, and up to the modern classics that have both reimagined familiar monsters and created new ones, Classic Monsters magazine has always been a broad church. This glorious edition pays tribute to the stars who brought our most treasured tales to life and set us on the deliciously dark path that we tread today. Golden age stars such as Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and Lon Chaney, the villainy of Vincent Price, and the Hammer heroics of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are all here as you dive into the heady combination of wonder and fear that makes classic horror cinema so compelling.
