Screem 42 presents the main event: Tod Browning's Sideshow Shockers! The Criterion Collection have issued three classic films on Blu-ray from the acclaimed director who gave us Bela Lugosi's DRACULA, THE DEVIL DOLL and the long-lost LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT. In this triple-movie collection which contains Browning's FREAKS, THE UNKNOWN and the rarely seen THE MYSTIC, author David J Skal (The Monster Show, Dark Carnival) produces a stellar article on the much-anticipated box set. Our newsstand cover is by Rondo Award winning artist Mark Maddox.

Beloved actor Glenn Strange graces our limited-edition cover, with a companion article on his life by Ryan Vandergriff (Dance as if There's No Tomorrow, a Buddy Holly biography). Artist Richard Hilliard delivers our alternate cover. John-Paul Checkett's Deep Focus and Andy Rausch's The Director's Chair return in issue #42. John-Paul examines the critically acclaimed, but rarely seen film Dave Made a Maze, and Andy chats with director Lewis Teague (CUJO, CAT'S EYE). Severin Films CEO Dave Gregory speaks with Scott Feinblatt about the boutique label's 4K restoration for CEMETERY MAN (aka DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE). We round out the issue with our extensive movie review section, which is worth the price of admission alone! 

As carnival barkers would say: "HURRY! HURRY! HURRY! Get your copy of Screem #42, before it gets YOU!"
