The Monster Times (jan 26, 1972 – jul 17, 1976)

Description:

The Monster Times was a horror film fan magazine created in 1972. Published by The Monster Times Publishing Co., it was intended as a competitor to Famous Monsters of Filmland. Although the main editorial focus of the magazine was horror media, it also featured articles and reviews of modern and classic science fiction/fantasy movies and television series, as well as comic books. Each issue featured a fold-out centerfold poster usually based on that particular issue's feature story.

The Monster Times was edited at various times in its formative years by Chuck R. McNaughton, Allen Asherman, Joe Brancatelli and Tom Rogers. Joe Kane (who later assumed the nom de plume The Phantom of the Movies for newspaper columns and books) took over as editor with Issue # 11 (June 14, 1972), and remained in that capacity until the periodical's demise. The publishers were art directors Larry Brill and Les Waldstein, who were the original designers for the pornographic weekly tabloid Screw,[citation needed] and also for Famous Monsters of Filmland and other Jim Warren publications in the late 1960s.
