After a stunning Virgil Finlay illustration on the inside front cover, a less elaborate "Operating Table of Contents" this time. Also, a bump in cover price from 60 cents to 75 cents. A lead article on Ray Harryhausen, (who was very popular at the time) is followed by coverage of VAULT OF HORROR, and reviewer John Benson says it beats THE DEADLY BEES as Amicus' worst film. Following is coverage of THEATRE OF BLOOD, AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS, WICKED WICKED and GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE. The dystopian cautionary tale of SOYLENT GREEN is reviewed and the long-running features, "Frankenstein's TV Movie Guide" and "Movie Noose Reel" are given most of the rest of the issue.
