FOCUS ON BRINKE STEVENS

One of the top draws of the Scream Queen invasion of the 80's and 90's was Brinke Stevens. Besides being a good actress her good looks helped her with a modeling career as well, appearing in numerous publications, It also helped that she was, for a brief time, the wife of the late Dave Stevens, one of the hottest comic artists during this period.

This special issue of FOCUS (Draculina Publishing, 1994) is all about Miss Stevens. It has plenty of photos, a filmography, a list of where she appears in publications and a bio told by Brinke herself.

VAMPIRELLA'S LITTLE SISTER

Riffing on Warren's title VAMPIRELLA, Hugh Gallagher's DRACULINA was focused on the sexy side of horror films and their female stars. This "Fear-Book" from 1992 showcases the (visual) talents of the voluptuous Bobbie Bresee and Hilary Lipton. Also included are features on Herschel Gordon Lewis, Playboy Playmates who appeared in horror films and necrophilia in the movies, as well as nude shots of Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson, Mathilda "Lifeforce" May and others. The magazine suffers from poor quality printing and photo reproductions, but Gallagher's heart was in the right place.
