Famous Monsters of Filmland, hands down. Scary Monsters Magazine (not listed) a close 2nd.

I don't know about blood & guts per se, but these two titles cover the whole imagi-movie spectrum (horror/fantasy/sci-fi) in the most unique way IMO.

Im with zombiehorror, even though i have only 1 issue and was a awesome issue.
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

You should really check out some other issues!  I came in on #3, immediately back ordered #1 & 2 and got a subscription....been renewing ever since.  Horror Hound is the new Famous Monsters!  What FM did for the classics of the 30-60's, HorrorHound is doing for films from the 70-90's, 'cept without the puns.  Not to say they don't also pay respect to the classics because they do that too.

I voted Other but it really is a toss up between Scary Monsters,which should have been on the list,and Horror Hound. Horror hound is a great mag and scary monsters is in depth and just plain fun.

I'd go to Steve's Sweet Shoppe after Terry's Barber Shop for a haircut as a kid.  I would get a Coca-Cola, Hamburger and Fries and then would get a comic (usually Werewolf by Night) or FM.

The neighborhood kids would sit around on my porch and we'd look through all of them some afternoons.

Rue Morgue is the best now. But Castle of Frankenstein was the  best back in the day. Loved Monster Times too.

Ah, those were the days!! Actually, my dad was the town barber. His shop was called The Lakeside Barber Shop, and right next door was The Lakeside Diner (In case you hadn't guessed............we lived on a lake.) Next door to the Diner was Mayo's Drugs.

So, my routine was much like yours. Haircut needed or not, most Saturdays I would ride my bike down to dad's barber shop, and sit in one of the vacant barber chairs listening to all the town gossip. Some days dad would send me over to the Diner to get a burger and a Coke, and then off to Mayo's to buy FM or a comic book. Then back to sit in a barber chair to read until he told me to get the hell out and go play LOL!!
