    LOVE it... beautiful stuff. Nice to see Tarantula Ghoul in the mix (her 'Graveyard Rock' is a song my skeleton quartet sings in our graveyard every Hallowe'en!). Love those colored prints on the first page too.

    Egor's Chamber of TV Horror Hosts (see links) comes through with the name of the magazine that article came from. Thanks, George!
