The "Zombie" article from FM #169

"Climb every mountain, ford every stream. Follow every rainbow, till.... you... find... your... dre-e-e-eam!"

I've been going through my magazine collection and organizing them better... well, really just organizing them, they were in the shelves with no regard to what they were. It's a slow process, because you know I have to stop and look through them, after having not seen them for awhile. When I find something interesting to share on one of my blogs (I have four) I set it aside for scanning later. Well, all that to say, I recently rediscovered this article on Lucio Fulci's "Zombie" in an issue of "Famous Monsters." Here it is, for your consumption, from Issue 169 published in October of 1980.

For another "Zombie" article, this time from "Fangoria," (where you would expect it to be found) check out the earlier blog entry.

And if the gory grue of "Zombie" left a bad taste in your mouth, here's a delectable morsal to tantalize you with a taste of what might have been... *sigh...*

"How do you like my bat ring?"

Oct. 1980 Fangoria "Zombie" article

It's always fun for me to go back and read articles on films that came out when they were new. And finding more information on Fulci's "Zombie," now considered to be a classic in the Living Dead genre, is always interesting. So here is a scan of the article in the issue #8 with some behind-the-scenes pics you will enjoy seeing!

I apologise for the condition of the magazine cover and article, I bought this as a used copy from a comic book store about 15 years ago. It looks like the previous owner spilled something on it. This is a hard-to-find issue, and can go for $50, but in this condition I wouldn't get too much for it if I was of a mind to sell it.

Soon, I'll be opening the crypt vault and bringing out a Famous Monsters article on the same movie! Oh, and please, if you read this, leave a comment and tell me what you think of the newly-resurrected Monster Memories blog!
