SCREEM #43 NEWSTAND ED

SCREEM #43 comes swimming into 2025 with two Creature covers! With Universal Studios bringing our favorite monster from The Black Lagoon back to our waters, we are excited to give Blackie the covers he deserves, although this time he is sharing space with the Amphibian Man from Gullermo del Toro's The Shape of Water, which made its debut on the 4K format from the good folks at the Criterion Collection. Stephen R. Bissette dives deep into the creature features that we've admired throughout the years. John-Paul Checkett takes his Deep Focus column to jolly ol' England and puts Peeping Tom under his microscope. Andy Rausch has a seat for Mick Garris in this issue's Director's Chair column, Mexican film historian David Wilt sinks his teeth into Indicator's new double feature Blu-ray box set for two classic bloodsucker films: El Vampiro and The Vampire's Coffin.
