Horror Monsters – The Forgotten Classic of Early Monster Mags!
Launched in 1961 by Charlton Publications, Horror Monsters was one of the earliest magazine-format horror publications, riding the monster craze sparked by Universal’s classic creature features and the rising popularity of late-night horror movie broadcasts. Unlike Famous Monsters of Filmland, which focused on the history of the genre, Horror Monsters delivered a mix of film retrospectives, behind-the-scenes features, and photo-packed spreads of classic monsters, all presented with a pulpy, schlocky charm that made it a cult favorite.
With creepy black-and-white stills, coverage of everything from Dracula to drive-in horror flicks, and an unfiltered love for all things monstrous, Horror Monsters was a nostalgic treasure trove for classic horror fans. Though it only ran for a handful of issues, it remains a collectible gem from the early days of monster fandom, capturing the era when rubber-suited creatures, haunted castles, and mad scientists ruled the silver screen. A monster mag that may have faded into the shadows—but its eerie spirit lingers on!
