For Monsters Only

Description

For Monsters Only – The Wild, Weird, and Wonderful Horror Mag for Monster Lovers!

A true oddity in the world of horror magazines, For Monsters Only was a short-lived but unforgettable publication from Crestwood Publications, debuting in 1965. Unlike the more serious genre mags of the time, this monster-sized digest leaned into the campy, fun, and bizarre side of classic horror, blending creature features, comic strips, puzzles, and playful articles that made it feel like a monster kid’s dream come true.

Filled with classic monster movie stills, humorous send-ups of Universal’s legendary creatures, and pulpy, offbeat content, For Monsters Only was a mash-up of horror fandom, parody, and old-school monster appreciation. Though it only lasted four issues, its unique blend of silly and spooky makes it a highly collectible gem from the golden age of monster magazines. If you love your horror with a touch of fun—or ever wanted to read a magazine “written by monsters, for monsters”—this is the kind of buried treasure worth digging up.
