CINEFANTASTIQUE VOL.3 #3

ZARDOZ

Cinefantastique was a horror, fantasy, and science fiction film magazine launched as a glossy, quarterly in 1970 by publisher/editor Frederick S. Clarke. Intended as a serious critical/review journal of the genres, the magazine immediately set itself apart from such competitors as Famous Monsters of Filmland due to its slick paper stock and use of full color interior film stills. Cinefantastique's articles and reviews emphasized an intelligent, near-scholarly approach, a then-unusual slant for such a genre-specific magazine. Advertisements were few, with most of them being only ads for other titles and materials by the publisher. This lack of "page padding" assured the reader a high proportion of original editorial content.

Features include Director Robert Aldrich (What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?, Hush...Hush Sweet Charlotte), Director William Castle (Homicidal, Straight-Jacket), Director Curtis Harrington (Games, What's The Matter With Helen?, Who Slew Auntie Roo?), Director William Friedkin (The Exorcist) and reviews including Don't Look In The Basement, Don't Look Now, Fantastic Planet, Lost Horizon, Westworld, Zardoz and more!

All magazines are packaged with Collectors in mind. They will be individually bagged, and sandwiched between two pieces of over-sized cardboard. This not only helps to prevent magazine edge damage during the shipping phase, but it also helps to prevent folding and rough handling of the magazine(s). This secured package is then put into a cushioned bubble mailer, helping to ensure you will receive your item in the same condition that it leaves my crypt in!
