How We Became Scary Monsters

NOW IN ITS 29th YEAR!: Scary Monsters, The REAL Monster Magazine, is published by MyMovieMonsters.com’s husband and wife team and monster kids, Don (Editor) and Vicki (Art Director and Designer) Smeraldi.

Scary Monsters is the only real “all classic, all the time” movie monster magazine — like ones published in the ’50s and ’60s — featuring colorful wraparound cover art and 144-plus jam-packed pulp pages. The terrifyingly fun and informative content includes in-depth articles and interviews, dozens of photos celebrating classic horror/sci-fi films of yesteryear, plus a fangtastic catalog of scary stuff in the back pages for you to order by mail just like when you were a kid!

Revitalized in 2016 with this new publishing team and updated, professional design, regular features include Trilogy of Terror, Kaiju Korner, Dr. Gangrene’s Mad Interviews, Strange Days, Dry Ice & Cobwebs, new Blu-ray/DVD releases, and much more!

Widely distributed at Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, comic shops and newsstands across the USA and UK, as well as Chapters/Indigo stores in Canada. Not in your town? Subscribe by mail (write for details to Scary Monsters, PO Box 567, Wildomar, CA 92595 or email [email protected]) or online at ScaryMonstersMagazine.com.

We also publish a Monster Memories edition of Scary Monsters. It’s an annual publication issued every February, featuring nostalgic, personal monster memories from celebrities and readers from around the globe, plus other special treats every Monster Kid loves.

WANTED: Monster Kids of all ages, from every city, town and solar system are invited to submit to us their monster memories of favorite films, creatures, and monster makers of the silver screen. Write [email protected] for instructions.

We are really blessed to have a great team of contributors who volunteer their talents to help make the magazine what it is. Many have stayed on with us since we took over. We also are thrilled to have Scott Jackson crafting each cover. He just keeps outdoing himself each time! Of course, the biggest hurdle is the cost of printing and distribution. We’re always looking for ways to save on those costs. Our readers have done a great job supporting us by subscribing and ordering from the “Scary Stuff” catalog section that’s in the back of each issue. One way to support us even further is to consider buying one copy of each issue to read and one copy to put away, which many collectors already do. Another is to share those reader copies with children and grandchildren — if you can get them to put down their handheld device for a little while! It’s no secret that the fan base is dwindling because most of the movie stars (even child actors back in the day) and caretakers like Forry Ackerman and many others have passed on. But that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to celebrate the classic films and the movie makers and stars for generations to come — and we hope to be a part of that for a long time!

Back in the late 1990s Don began buying new VHS tapes promoted via email of classic horror and sci-fi movies he remembered enjoying as a kid. It became a hobby and then, by 1999, a business. MyMovieMonsters.com initially offered classic horror and sci-fi VHS tapes then transitioned to DVDs. Over the years we’ve focused more on monster magazines (both domestic and international), comic archives, books, action figures of all sizes (mostly monsters and sci-fi creatures but some superheroes), model kits, collector cards, bobble heads, and more. We have a vast selection of Godzilla figures, bust coin banks (both monsters

and superheroes) and Sideshow classic monsters that are either brand-new and purchased by us or pre-owned but their display boxes have not been opened. We always try to have the latest classic horror and sci-fi magazines and model kits in stock. Other retailers tend to emphasize pre-orders and make their customers wait sometimes months for product. We only do that for the most current issue of our magazines. Anyone can register on our website to receive email updates on new product — and unlike others we don’t spam you and only send an occasional message when new items warrant it.

In terms of what attracted us to the scary publishing world, Vicki and Don had worked together years ago at U.S. Postal Service Headquarters designing and editing/writing (respectively) national publications. Since we also ran MyMovieMonsters.com and Don was planning retirement, taking on Scary Monsters was a natural. It really was a dream come true … a bucket from Don’s wish list he thought he’d never have a chance to fill.
