Delirium Magazine Issue #23

DELIRIUM Magazine #23 is an affectionate salute to one of the most discussed exploitation movie architects of all time, the late, great Al Adamson! To time with the release of Severin Films' juggernaut Blu-ray box set featuring over 30 of Al's bizarre works, this beautifully illustrated issue features exclusive interviews with Adamson's producing partner Sam Sherman and director David Gregory, whose latest documentary BLOOD & FLESH: THE REEL LIFE & GHASTLY DEATH OF AL ADAMSON digs deep into Al's oeuvre and examines the horrific, true crime tragedy of his senseless and gruesome murder. 

 Further into our Adamson examination, we have film historian Howard S. Berger's exhilarating analysis of Al and Sam's signature opus:1971's berserk, stitched together monster mash DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN, a so-called "bad movie" that is really a kind of secret, subversive psychedelic masterpiece. Bouncing off that gonzo Gothic picture's legacy, we jump back into the world of Hammer Horror, with an appreciation of 1974's Hong Kong co-production THE LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES and then sit down for an EXCLUSIVE new interview with British horror legend Judy Matheson, who co-starred in the double-shot "Karnstein" Hammer shockers LUST FOR A VAMPIRE and TWINS OF EVIL!

Padding out this extraordinary issue is a unique interview with HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT II director Bruce Pittman where we discuss NOT his filmography but rather his sideline as a photographer, snapping shots of legends like Robert Mitchum and Ann-Margret. Buffalo-based horror hero Greg Lamberson dissects his new creeper WIDOW'S POINT, multi-hyphenate artist Dante Tomaselli riffs on his unique body of work and managing editor Michael Gingold traps actor William Sanderson for a flashback interview on the notorious revenge thriller FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE.

DELIRIUM #23 is a MUST for lovers of the bizarre, monstrous, bloody, beautiful and bizarre!
