LATARNIA FANTASTIQUE INTERNATIONAL

So, we have a new horror magazine called LATARNIA FANTASTIQUE INTERNATIONAL. At $9.50 (including shipping) for 24 pages, the first question to come to mind is; Is it worth it?

I'm going to go with yes. Full color, heavy stock, full bleed print, an amazing portrait of Barbara Steele by Brianna Wanlass. This is a good looking magazine.

So, it's pretty, but pretty does not make a magazine worth reading.

How's the writing?

There's a review of the new, yes I said new, Paul Naschy werewolf flick WEREWOLF IN THE AMAZON, that looks amazing. There is an in depth article on THE TORTURE CHAMBER OF DR. SADISM as well as many more articles.I could go into more depth, but it would be better to experience this for yourself.
LFI reminds me of my youth when I would devour every issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland. Way before the internet and discussion groups. FM would tell us of amazing new movies coming down the pipe. It would cover existing and older films in detail and those amazing painted covers! It's nice to know I have a replacement for those days of yesteryear in this new magazine.
The magazine business is a tricky one. Mirek is intelligent in having no advertisers and selling the first issue in a run of only 250 copies. No chance of losing advertising and keeping the page count and run of each issue small makes it a little safer.
I look forward to the next issue with Christopher Lee and to many more issues beyond that.
Now, if you'll excuse me I need to read that review for WEREWOLF IN THE AMAZON again. I can't wait for that one to come out on DVD!
