| dbo:abstract | Castle of Frankenstein was an American horror, science fiction and fantasy film magazine, published between 1962 and 1975 by Calvin Thomas Beck's Gothic Castle Publishing Company, distributed by Kable News. Larry Ivie—who also was cover artist for several early issues—and Ken Beale edited the first three issues. Writer-artist Bhob Stewart edited the magazine from 1963 into the early 1970s. Although promoted and sold as a "monster magazine," readers were aware that Castle of Frankenstein, at the time, was the only nationally distributed magazine devoted to a legitimate and serious coverage of B movies. In addition to its central focus on classic and current horror films, Castle of Frankenstein also devoted pages to amateur filmmakers and fanzines. Its advertising pages sold full-length silent feature films such as The Lost World and The Golem: How He Came into the World. Following employment as an editor for publisher Joe Weider, Calvin Beck (1929–1989) entered the monster magazine arena in 1959 with his one-shot issue Journal of Frankenstein, which featured John Zacherle on the cover and had a small circulation. As an experiment, Beck printed part of the run on slick paper. After a hiatus and a title change, Beck returned with Castle of Frankenstein #1 in 1962. Beck claimed that since his magazine carried no outside advertising, a standardized schedule was unneeded. Issues were published whenever they were completed, leading to an erratic, irregular schedule. Distribution also varied; while many well-stocked periodical outlets did not carry the magazine, some less-likely outlets (such as grocery stores) did. The magazine ran 25 issues, plus one annual (the 1967 Fearbook); the final issue was published in 1975. Beck cancelled his magazine not because of poor sales, but to devote his energy to writing books. During its primary run, Castle of Frankenstein outlasted the majority of monster magazines that filled the market for two decades, with the notable exception of Famous Monsters of Filmland. In 1999, publisher Dennis Druktenis revived both Castle of Frankenstein (releasing 10 more issues) and the original title Journal of Frankenstein (releasing five more issues).

El escritor y artista editó la revista desde 1963 hasta principios de la década de 1970. Aunque promocionada y vendida como una "revista monstruosa", los lectores sabían que Castle of Frankenstein, en ese momento, era la única revista distribuida a nivel nacional dedicada a una cobertura legítima y seria de películas de serie B. Además de su enfoque central en películas de terror clásicas y actuales, Castle of Frankenstein también dedicó páginas a cineastas aficionados y fanzines. Sus páginas publicitarias vendían largometrajes mudos como The Lost World y The Golem: How He Came into the World. Después de su empleo como editor para el editor Joe Weider, Calvin Beck (1929-1989) entró en el campo de las revistas de monstruos en 1959 con su número único Journal of Frankenstein, que tuvo sólo una pequeña circulación. Como experimento, Beck imprimió parte de la ejecución en papel liso. Después de una pausa y un cambio de título, Beck regresó con el primer número de Castle of Frankenstein en 1962. Beck afirmó que, dado que su revista no tenía publicidad exterior, no se necesitaba un horario estandarizado. Los números se publicaban cada vez que se completaban, lo que generaba un calendario irregular y errático. La distribución también varió; mientras que muchos puntos de venta de publicaciones periódicas bien surtidas no tenían la revista, algunos puntos de venta menos probables (como las tiendas de comestibles). La revista publicó 25 números, más uno anual (el Fearbook de 1967); el número final se publicó en 1975. Beck no canceló su revista debido a las bajas ventas, sino para dedicar su energía a escribir libros. Durante su carrera principal, Castle of Frankenstein superó a la mayoría de las revistas de monstruos que llenaron el mercado durante dos décadas, con la notable excepción de . En 1999, el editor revivió tanto Castle of Frankenstein (lanzando 10 números más) como el título original (lanzando cinco números más). (es) |
