The Bronze Age of Horror Comics! House of Secrets 105, 1973 w/ Mart Gray!

Hey there, all you horror fiends! For the first time ever, I've got my good buddy Mart Gray on the show! He's a big fan of the horror comics, and tis the season as they say, right? He picked a really fun issue from the House of Secrets, and he and I (and Abel) will try our best to gleefully present the three stories inside this book. Mart synopsizes the first and third stories with his usual dramatic flare, and I cover the second one that's a bit of an odd edition to the comic. But, it does have Jim Aparo artwork! So, light a candle, put on some spooky music, and draw the curtains, because we're going to scare the dickens out of you! As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the show, you can do so through email at Magazinesandmonsters@gmail.com or to me on Twitter @Billyd_licious or on the show's FB page or on BlueSky @docstrange.bsky.social (or just search Billy-D).

Magazines and Monsters Episode 78, Black Sabbath (1963) w/ Luke Jaconetti (Earth Destruction Directive podcast)!

Hey everybody! My pal Luke is back, and we are here to talk about one of the most celebrated films by Mario Bava! Black Sabbath is a super fun anthology film with three segments, that are very different from each other, but are brought together by the one and only Boris Karloff! We talk about the cast, and differences between the Italian and US versions, plus our thoughts on Bava in general, and some of the other directors he influenced later. So, don't pick up that telephone, steal a ring from a corpse, or let a vampire in the house, because if you do, it will be your doom!
