Westmore.) Jan. 1—1796. ‘This day—my first on the light house—I can make this entry in my Diary, as agreed on with DeGraet. As regularly as 1 can keep this journal, I will—but there is no telling what may happen to a man all alone as I am— may get sick or worse . So far well! The cutter had a narrow escape— but why dwell on that, since I am here, all safe? My spirits are beginning to revive already, at the mere thought of being—for once in my life at least—thoroughly alone. It is strange that I never observed, until this moment, how dreary a sound that word has— “alone'!'I could half fancy there was some pe- culiarity in the echo of these cylindrical walls— but oh, no!—that is alll nonsense. I do believe T am going to get nervous about my insulation, That will never do. I have not forgotten DeGraet’s prophecy. Jan. 2. 1 have passed this day in a state that I find it impossible to describe. My passion for soli: tude could scarcely have been more thoroughly gratified, Jan. 3. A dead calm all day. Towards evening, the sea looked very much like glass. A few se ‘weeds came in sight; but besides them absolutely. nothing all day—not even the slighest speck of cloud -. .. Occupied myself in exploring the light: house Jan, 4. 1 am now prepared to resume work on ‘my book. Already I have carried enough oll, water & food to the upper levels to last me for an entire month—I need stir from my two rooms only to replenish the wicks For the rest, I am free! utterly free—for my ime is my own, and in this lofty realm { rule as King. Iam master of the sun that rises from the sea at dawn, emperor of wind and monarch of the gale, sultan of the waves that sport or roar in roll Ing torrents about the base of my palace pinnacle Tcommand the moon in the heavens, and the very ebb & flow of the tide does homage to my reign. But enough of fancies~DeGraet warned me 10 refrain from morbid or from grandiose speculation —now I shall take up in all earnestness the task that Ties before me. Jan. 11. A week has passed since my last entry in this ‘diary, and as I readit over, I ean scarce comprehend that it was I who penned those words. Alone! I, who breathed the word as if it were some mystic incantation bestowing peace, have come— I realize it now to loathe the very Sound. And the ghastliness of meaning I know full well ‘The world is 200 miles away; T will not know it again for an entire year. And it in turn—but no more! T cannot put down my thoughts wh the grip of this morbid mood. Jan. 13. "Two more days—two more centuries!— have passed. Can it be less than two weeks since I was immured in this prison tower? I mount the turret of my dungeon and gaze at the horizon; 1am not hemmed in by bars of steel but by col: umns and pillars and webs of wild and raging water, The sea has changed; gray skies have wrought a wizardry so that I’ stand surrounded by a tumult that threatens to become a tempest. T endlessly pace the narrow, circular confines“Only a moment, FOR SALE.) of my tower of torment. Wild words, these? And yet I am not alone in my affliction—my dog Neptune feels it too. Per- haps it is but the approach of the storm that agitates him so—for Nature bears closer Kinship. with the beast. Thave just mounted to the platform and gazed out at the spectacle of gathering storm, The waves are fantastically high; they sweep against the light- hhouse in titanic tumult. T am surrounded by a billowing blackness thundering against me Back below now, as-lightning flickers. I will set down a further statement. I must, if only to prove to myself that reason again prevails. In writing. of my venture up to the platform—my viewing of the sea & sky—I omitted to mention the mean- ing of a single moment. There came upon mo, as I gazed down at the black & boiling madness of the waters below, a wild & willful craving to be- come one with it: But why should I disguise the naked truth?—I felt an insane impulse to hurl myself into the seal Tt has passed now; passed, I pray, forever. I did not yield to this perverse prompting and I am back here in my quarters, writing calmly once again. Yet the fact remains—the hideous urge to destroy myself came suddenly, and with the force of one of those monstrous waves, And what—I force myself to realize—was the meaning of my demented desire? It was that T sought escape, escape from loneliness. It was as if by mingling with the sea and the storm T would no longer be alone. But I defy the elements. I defy the powers of the earth and of the heavens. Alone I am, alone T must be—and come what may, I shall survive! ‘My laughter rises above all your thunder! ‘So—ye spirits of the storm—blow, howl, rage, hurl your watery weight against my fortress—I am greater than you in all your powers. But wait! Neptune . .. something has happened to the cre ture—I must attend him, Jan, 16. ‘The storm is abated. I am back at my desk now, alone—truly alone. I have locked poor Neptune in the store-room below: the unfortunate beast seems driven out of his wits by the forces of ‘How shail I describe the horrors of the storm I faced alone? ‘There is no need to write of the fancies & fan- tasies which assailed me through those unhallowed 2‘Lam now prepared to resume work on my book.

A life that thirsted, and must drink” (Scene suggested by a foto from DEMENTIA 13.) hours. At times I felt that the lighthouse was giving way and that T would be swept into the sea. ‘AL times I knew myself to be a victim of a colos sal plot—I cursed DeGraet for sending me, know- ingly, to my doom. At times (and these were the worst moments of ail) I felt the full force of lone liness, crashing down upon me in waves higher than those wrought by water. But all has passed, and the sea—and myself are calm again, A peculiar calmness, this; as T ‘gaze out upon the water there are certain pheno- mena T was not aware of until this very: moment. Before setting down my observations, let me re- assure myself that I am, indeed, quite calm; no trace of my former tremors or agitation yet re- mains. The momentary madness caused by the storm had departed and my brain is free of phan: ‘tasms—indeed, my senses seem to be sharpened to an unusual extent. It is almost as though I find myself in posses- sion of an additional sense, an ability to analyze and penetrate beyond former limitations super- imposed by Nature ‘The water on which I gaze is placid once more. ‘The sky is only lightly leaden in hue. But wiat— low on the horizon creeps a sudden flame! It is the sun, the Arctic sun in sullen splendor, emerg- ing momentarily from the pall to redden the ocean. Sun & sky, sea & air about me, turn to blood. Can it be I who byt a moment ago wrote of re- turned, regained sanity? I, who have just shrieked aloud, “Alone!”—and halé-rising from my chair, heard the muffled booming echo through the lone: ly lighthouse, its sepulchral accent. intoning “Alone!” in answer? It may be that I am, despite all resolution, going mad; if so, I pray the end ‘comes soon. Jan. 18, There will be no end! I have conceived ‘a notion, a theory which my heightened faculties soon will test; T shall embark upon an experi- ment. « Jan. 26. A week has passed here in ‘my solitary prison. Solitary?—perhaps, but not for long. ‘The experiment is proceeding. I must set down what hhas occurred. ‘The sound of the echo set me to thinking. One sends out one’s voice and it comes back. One sends ut one’s thoughts and—can it be that there is a response? Sound, as we know, travels in waves & patterns, The emanations of the brain, perhaps, travel similarly, And they are not confined by physical laws of time, space, or duration. Can one’s thoughts produce a reply that ma- terializes, just as one’s voice produces an echo? ‘An echo is a product of a certain vacuum. A thought . . . Coneentration is the key to my ex- periment. Concentration, by its very nature, is a difficult task: I addressed myself t6 it with no little fear. Strive but to remain seated quietly with a mind “empty” of all thought, and one finds in the space of a very few minutes that the errant body is en- gaged in all manner of distracting movement— foot tapping, finger twisting, facial grimacing. This I managed to over come after a matter of many hours—my first three days were virtually exhausted in an effort to rid myself of nervous agitation and assume the inner & outer tranquil-“Hallucination, vision, apparition?

Then came the task of “filling” the empty consciousness—filling it com- pletely with one intense and concentrated effort What echo could I bring forth from nothing- ness? What. companionship would T seek here in my loneliness? What was the sign or symbol I desired? What symbolized to me the whole absent world of life & light? DeGraet would laugh me to scorn if he but knew the concept that I chose. Yet I,’ the cynical, the jaded, searched my soul, plumbed my longing, and found that which I most desired—a simple ign, a token of all the earth removed: a fresh & growing flower, a rose! Yes, a simple rose is what I have sought—a rose, torn from its living stem, perfumed with the sweet incarnation of life itself. Seated here before the window I have dreamed, I have mused, I have then concentrated with every fiber of my being upon a rose. My mind was filled with redness—not the red: ness of the sun upon the sea, or the redness of blood, but the rich & radiant redness of the rose. My soul was suffused with the seent of a rose: as I brought my faculties to bear exclusively on the image, these walls fell away, the walls of my very flesh fell away, and I seemed to merge in the texture, the odor, the color, the actual essence of a rose. Shall 1 write of this, the 7th day, when seated at. the window as the sun emerged from the sea, 1 felt the commanding of my consciousness? Shall 1 write of rising, descending the stairs, opening the iron door at the base of the lighthouse anc Deering out at the billows that swirled at my very feet) Shall I write of stopping, of grasping, oF wolding? ‘Shall I write that I have indeed descended those iron stairs and returned here with.my wave-borne trophy-—that this very day, from waters 200 miles distant from any shore, 1 have reached down and plucked a fresh rose?

Here in my tower I have become qui the philosopher. I realize my need is simply this Companionship. And now, with the power that is mine to control, I shall have it!

One might "fancy that his efforts are responsible for the shud- dering of the very lighthouse itself, but no; it is the fury of the Northern gale. I pay it no heed, as I say, but I fully realize that this storm surpasses in ex: tent and intensity anything I could imagine as wit- ness to its predecessor. Yet it is unimportant; even though the light ‘above me flickers and threatens to be extinguished by the sheer velocity of wind that seeps through these stout walls; even though the ocean sweeps against the foundations with a force that makes solid stone seem as flimsy as straw; even though the sky is a single black roaring mouth that yawns low upon the horizon to engulf me. For the past several days I have bent my facul- ties to my will, concentrating utterly and to the uttermost upon the summoning of a Companion. This Companion will be—I confess it!—a wo- man; a woman far surpassing the limitations of common mortality. She is the woman of whom I have always dreamed. DeGraet would scoff that she is but the figment of a dream—but DeGraet did not see the rose, 2 'y dog Neptune was worked into a frenzy, whining & pawing & wheeling in circles.” (Scene sug- ‘gested by Christopher Lee in European horror film.) It was the rose which I set before me when first I composed myself to this new effort, of will. T gazed at it intently until vision faded, senses stilled, and I lost myself in the attempt. of conjur ing up my vision of a Companion. Hours later, the sound of rising waters from ‘without aroused me. I gazed about, my eyes sought the reassrance of the rose and rested only upon a foulness. Where the rose had risen proudly in its vase, red crest rampant upon a living stem, I now perceived only a noxious, utterly detestable strand of ichorous decay. No rose this, but only Seaweed; rotted, noisome and putrescent. I flung it away, but for long moments T could not banish a wild presentiment—was it true that I had de- ceived myself? Was it a weed, and only a weed I plucked from the ocean's breast? Did the force Of my thought momentarily invest it with the attributes of a rose? Would anything I called up from the depths—the depths of sea or the depths ‘of consciousness—be truly real? ‘Once again now I shall lay my pen a turn:to the great task—the task of ”shattered, and must fall with it. you will—and I shall not fail. The fear (I admit IU) of loneliness is enough to drive me forward to unimaginable brinks. She, and she alone, can save me, shall save me, musi save me! I can see her now’. ... Somewhere upon these storm-tossed seas she exists, I know it—and wherever she may be, my call will come to her and she will respond, Jan. 31. The command came at midnight. Roused from the depths of the mast profound innermost communion by a thunderclap, T rose as though in the grip of somnambulistic compulsion and moved down the spiral stairs, The lantern I bore trenibled in my hand; light wavered in the wind, and the very iron treads beneath my feet shook with the furious force of the storm. The booming of the waves as titey struck the lighthouse walls seemed to place me within the center of a maelstrom of ear-shattering sound, yet over the demoniacal din I could detect. the frenzied howls from poor Nepture as I passed the door behind which he was confined. ‘The door shook with the combined force of the wind and of still desperate efforts to free himself—but I 1 know now that the lighthouse will shatter & fall. | am already (Scene suggested by Christopher Lee in European horror film.) hastened on my way, descending to the iron door ai the base of the lighthouse. ‘To open it required the use of both hands, and I set the lantern down at one side.

I thought of a thousand explanations, a thousand miracles, a thousand riddles or reasor 14 beyond rationality. Yet only one thing mattered— my Companion was here, and I had but to step for. ward and take her in my arms. No word was spoken, nor could one be heard in all that Inferno. No word was needed, for she smiled. Pale lips’ parted—and 1 saw the pointed teeth, set in rows like those of a shark. Her eyes, fishlike & staring, swam closer, As I recoiled, her arms came up to cling, and they were cold as the waters beneath, cold as the storm, cold as death. In one monstrous moment I knew, knew with uttermost certainty, that the power of my will had indeed summoned, the call of my conscious. ness had been answered. But the answer came not from the living, for nothing lived in this storm, Thad sent my will out over the waters, but the will penetrates all dimesions, and my answer had come from below the waters. She was from below, where the drowned dead lie dreaming, and T had awakened her and clothed her with a horrid life, A life that thirsted, and must drink... I think I shrieked, then, but I heard no sound. Certainly, I did not hear the howls from Neptune as the beast, burst from his prison, bounded down the stairs and flung himself upon the creature. His furry form bore her back and obscured my ion; in an instant she was falling backwards, away. into the sea that spawned her. Then, and only then, did I catch a glimpse of the final mo- ment of animation in that which my consciousness had summoned. Lightning seared the sight in exorably upon my soul—the sight of the ultimate blasphemy T had created in my pride, The rose had wilted . 3 ‘The rose had wilted and become seaweed. And now, she was gone and in her place was the bloated, swollen body of thing long-drowned and dead, risen from the slime and to that slime returning. Only a moment, and then the waves overwhelmed it, bore it back ‘into the blackness. Only a mo- ment, and the door was slammed shut. Only a moment, and I raced up the iron stairs, Neptune yammering at my heels. Only a moment, and T Teached the safety of this sanctuary. Safety? There is no salety in the universe for me, no safety here—the wrath of the waves in creases with every moment, the anger of the sea and its creatures rises to an inevitable crescendo, Mad or sane, it does not matter, for the end is the same in either case. I know now that the light: house will shatter and fall. I am already shat tered, and must fall with it, There is time only to gather these notes, strap them securely in a cylinder and attack it to Nep- tune’s collar.

Lon Chaney's greatest. char- acterization, his greatest contribution to the world of horror films, cannot be erased from the minds of those who witnessed the unveiling of 20 the Phantom’s face even once in their lifetime, This skulllike visage extends a strange fascin- ation over all who behold it. It is symbolic of hor- ror, bridging the gulf between Life & Death, with all the appearance of a corpse, yet with the ani- mation of a living human being. There have been 2 remakes of the silent classic, and one Mexiean take-off; but none could hold & candle to the original. ‘They all lacked that. spe- cial quality—that aura of believable horror, that sense of having glimpsed something which should never have been scen in one's lifetime—which makes the 1925 film the unforgettable experience itis.

Do you recognize her? ‘On these pages you may find several faces rare- ly, if ever, seen before in any human magazine. ‘among these is the bloodcurdling visaze of a character from the serial DRUMS OF FU MAN- CHU Sax: Rohmer’. “insidious” creation had again gone on a rampage in this film and set out to conquer the world with the aid-of his vam- pirish assistants, one of whom is pictured in these pages: Note the weird expression in his eyes and the curious angle of his fangs. He had just been asked the question: How does a Fu Man’ Chew? that’s the way the prune wrinkles Speaking of vampirish characters, our old friend Vampira is included in this assembly of fiendish faces. Can you recognize her? If vou are used to seeing her as the brunet blood-luster among the interplanetary, grave0b- bers in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, it is not too likely that you can. But if you remember that she played a wrinkled & scraggly-haired old hag in Bert I. Gordon's THE MAGIC SWORD, that's a hearse of a differ- ent color. Isn't she lovely? (That's right!—She isn't!) Strangely enough, she's already gotten several proposals of marriage via mail, delivered from exotic places all over the world. Like Forest Lawn.Lycanthropia, Tibet.

Quite frankly, we cannot remember ever hav- ing seen it before, and no matter how much trou- ble we go thru in searching for the identity of the creature, we still can find no answer. Can any readers out there help us? All we know about it is that while Pat Field: ing, scriptwriter, toured the prop department of United Artists she came upon this creature, which wore a dress like that worn by Allison in THE UNDEAD. Miss Fielding posed with it for publicity shots on the set of her screen story, THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD.

Seriously, we would appreciate any help from readers of MW or FM. a ripping good time Meet JACK THE RIPPER, Occupation: murderer, Actually the scene we've shown from the 1959 Paramount release is not that of the actual mur- derer of that name—obviously!—nor that of the actor who portrayed him. But the man whose identity was revealed as Jack the Ripper in the end didn't even have a fiendish face! Like they say, Looks are deceiving. The real Jack'the Ripper—who murdered more than half a'dozen women in London almost a cen- tury ago and fiendishly turned them inside out— was never arrested or executed. Some people say he retired and settled down with a nice little bust ness somewhat along his line. He ran a butcher shop.

What are your favorite suj Did you ever base your acting on prede- cessors in your monster portrayals; that is, did you study former Frankenstein mon- sters, vampires & mummies, or did you de- cide on your own methods of acting? I have never based by performances on those of other actors, and have not seen Lugosi's DRACULA or Karloff's MUMMY. lid see the latter's FRANKENSTEIN but could not re-produce it even if I had wanted to, as the copyright was strict! reserved.

My favorite supernatural tales are. those by Poe, Arthur Machen, Ambrose Bierce, Algernon Blackwood, HPLovecraft & Ray Bradbury. . How would you define horror & terror? would define horror & terror as basic- “ ally the same emotions. 1. How lon; did it take to make up for your role in THE MUMMY and to put in the teeth for DRACULA? . It took over an hour and a half to make up for THE MUMMY and a few seconds to slip on the plastic teeth caps used in DRACULA. ‘Since it seems that in most of your movies ‘ou never make it to the last reel, do you find it difficult doing so many different death scenes? . It is indeed increasingly difficult to por- tray death scenes in a very different way, 4s there are only so many forms of extinc- tion and most of them have been exhausted, I try to react as the character concerned would do, with regard to the situation and the surroundings, and to make each fresh ‘of the wire mesh in THE MUMMY, 1959 Universal 6-Q. . There are so many ‘of a mummy, he makes ¢ mishmash ‘relosse. ending a completely new experience for the audience. But it is extremely difficult. Is there any great actor of the past or resent whom you expecially admire? Why? actors both past & present that I admire that it is very diffi- cult to pick out any particular one. I sup- pose that the names that come most fre- quently to mind are Conrad Veidt, Chaney, Emil Jannings, Raimu & Chaplin. All of them had a great personal magic, they were all great artists, with grandeur, stature, presence and a complete mastery of their craft. Of the moderns, I most ad- mire actors like Ponda, Paul Newman and perhaps, Brando, for the same reasons in a slightly diminished degree. ). How was the effect of the blood-red eyes obtained in HORROR OF DRACULA? Was a chemical irritant, used? . The blood-red eye effect in DRACULA was obtained by the use of tinted contact lenses. A great irritant to the eyes because of the thickness of the lens, ). Did you use a stand-in during the fight se- quence with Peter Cushing at the climax of HORROR OF DRACULA? T did not use a stand-in during the fight se- ‘quence. I have hardly ever used a stand-in and never during a fight. Peter Cushing had 4 standin for the run along the table and the jump on to the curtain. Were you asked to star in BRIDES OF DRACULA (the sequel to HORROR OF DRACULA) and if s0, why did you turn it down . I was not asked to star in THE BRIDES OF DRACULA as the character did not appear at all in the film.Sgr ee ee EraRoad the article and learn one horror star's opinion oe en Riker Pigeon teers Swe ere ay tt Paro ree Were aT) Para ame TTY 7 SHIP PIRATES | grew my oun be Pere mr arr Carrara ther en en ena PLAnmnens ent tt fee ape Panay Notre reas omer ere a om Dare ee ere EGC erm ea re ater ata me area ra a Ce Oe ones PH ea eee ae name rent een oeny td anne ere eae reer rar narra ou a ora orn on Ca anne Piscine a: RO ca ee Te Mey pinion of Lon Chaney Jr. & Bel ram weer a ea aes rms om canny ete sincerity and belief and who gav Sr ina nam Perris cageST aT URN Tay NOW YOU CAN OWN AND SHOW THESE COMPLETE FILMS RIGHT IN YOUR OWN HOME! co NRA STR Ca) (eee Leila W waror THe |-" UARAN THE BEAST| ~* UNBELIEVABLE j Varan came from a World Below tote Amonster of the Atomic Ag!

But to build a car specifically to meet the tastes of the Munster family turned out to be a project only the most expert casket-carver could accomplish! George Barris and a number of other top custom ear designers were asked to sub- mit designs for the proposed chariot. The pro- ducers, along with Herman & Grandpa Munster. carefully studied the various submissions and finally chose Geo. Barris’ deathly design for the project. At this point Barris was, called in to ‘meet with the Munster family to hear the spe- cific requirements each had for the car. things looked black Grandpa Munster felt because the family was descended from a long line of used, but good, blood the car should ‘contain noble character: istics befitting their elevated position. Grandpa added that for his personal use "he would require a closed compartment with draw curtains to pro- tect him from daylight.” Naturally, Grandpa's compartment would have to have facilities for carrying on any last-minute experiments in transit Just the thing for a jaunt to the old heunting grounds. hi-powered spook-plugs aried wludhecaiea sais Voxied (be see ate gael a cay Arde ose ee tad a een eae ee ae ie oe ent eee acne ee ta Feces aaa ieee ae the car to have sufficient power and good pick-up from a dead stop."

That was before she saw it in a pair of overalls. Then she met with Mrs. Barris, who was in charge of cre- ating an appropriate interior. Lily felt the insides should be regally outfitted in velvet & vermin in keeping with the style & beauty of the Munster bloodline. She wanted as much of the trim as pos sible to be done in coffin gold-leaf or ghoul-plated.Off for a family picnic. The Munsters bring their own ants. road hog or road toad?

Royal red vel- vet coffin-lining material was bought for the in- terior upholstery. Spook wheels were fashioned after 18th century wooden hearse wheels. It took nearly 3 weeks to obtain the necessary wolfskin Teather for the interior trim. Meanwhile, during the construction, the Mun- sters thought of other added goddies they wanted included in the finished car. ‘Herman wanted a scario to play the funeral march while traffic was tied up on the freeway. ‘Grandpa wanted a terrorvision set so he could tune in Zacherly and his other ghoulish friends, Lily wanted a telephone so Herman could call if he was going to be late for breakfast on his way home from work. ‘Thirty days after the project was initiated, the Munster Koach was’ delivered to. Universal-TV and presented to the Munster family. Like all families that just get_a new car, the Munsters took it for a drive. Herman seemed extremely pleased with the Cobra engine .. . unfortunately, the mileage wasnt as economical as he had hoped for—3 miles to a rallon of embalming fluid. Grandpa made good use of the portable al- chemist’s equipment in his compartment by mixing ‘a potion that would quickly eliminate any police- men trying to stop or slow Herman down ‘The happy Munsters took the black pearl car for an afternoon picnic at Forest Lawn Ceme- tary to show it off to all their friends.
