Famous Monsters of Filmland — Fear Book 1970 | A Year of Fangs and Frights

Famous Monsters of Filmland — Fear Book 1970 | A Year of Fangs and Frights The artist who painted the cover for Famous Monsters of Filmland 1970 Fear Book, featuring Bela Lugosi as Dracula, was Basil Gogos. Staff Editor: Forrest J Ackerman Publisher: James Warren Art Director: Ben Oda Assistant Editor: Louise Jones Production: Marie Severin Step back into a blood-red year when movie monsters still ruled the newsstand. The Famous Monsters of Filmland — Fear Book 1970 is a time capsule from the golden age of monster fandom, packed with chilling photo spreads, spooky stories, and behind-the-scenes peeks at the films and faces that haunted our childhood TV screens. From Bela Lugosi’s immortal stare to the creaking crypts and cobwebbed castles of classic horror, this issue captures the moment when fear was fun, paper was king, and imagination did the heavy lifting. In this video, I flip through the cover, spotlight the legendary Basil Gogos artwork, and walk page by page through the contents that made Monster Kids inhale every new issue the second it hit the rack. These magazines weren’t just reading material—they were passports to another world, where Dracula lurked in the margins and Frankenstein’s shadow stretched across bedroom walls. If you grew up with these, you already know the feeling. If you’re new to them, welcome to the crypt—watch your step, the floorboards creak. This is more than nostalgia—it’s a love letter to a time when monsters were handcrafted, stories were inked by passionate fans, and a single magazine could light a lifelong flame for horror, sci-fi, and movie magic.
