Monster of the Day

Yes, that's a "gripping" novel, all right.

Man, I just can't get enough of these. These covers are so gorgeous.

"Yeah, babe! Likin' the view! I'd like to ski those hills! Wheeew! Work it!"

A metaphor for Death is scary enough, but if you think of it as a metaphor for Monday mornings....brrrrrr. Anyway, another absolutely terrific cover. By the way, why did Garfield hate Mondays? He was a stupid cat. It's not like he had a job.

I'm sure that in a lot of these these pulp covers the skeletons are metaphorical, standing in for Death writ large. I don't care. I love this sort of thing. Again, if I had a dime on me back then I would have bought anything that had a cover like this. Happy Friday, everyone.…

"Or, The GalaxyJane Story." Burn! Burn on the J-Man!

I seem to be running out of Terror Tale covers. There are more, but they mostly feature sexy women threatened by killers and mad scientists and, of course, red robed cultists, which is a running thing with that magazine. So we might move onto another mag tomorrow.

Man, I don't even want to know where that hand is. On the other hand, I guess I'm not the only person who would have bought something automatically is it had a skeleton on the cover.

I know how you feel, lady. Mondays!

Yay, Friday! Amazon Prime has Pumpkinhead. Man, that's a good little film. And you know I love me my Lance Henriksen. One of Stan Winston's great designs, and one of the last monsters that's human-looking enough to promote at least some audience empathy. I love especially the way the movie captures a real folklore…
