The current issue of Scary Monsters Magazine (issue #125) has a couple of articles of interest to Ray Bradbury readers and fans. First, there is an article called "Beware the Autumn People", which discusses both the book and film versions of SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES. There is also an article called "It Came From Ray Bradbury", which deals with the film IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, for which Ray wrote the screen treatment. The issue also contains articles relating to work by writers Robert Bloch, Robert Heinlein, Edgar Rice Burroughs and H.P. Lovecraft. And as an added bonus, there is a fine drawing of beautiful Ingrid Pitt from THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD on the cover. For more information about this issue, just click on the link below:
