Famous Fantastic Mysteries October, 1951 featuring the first ever printing of "The Man Who Collected Poe" by Robert Bloch (beginning on page 98) -- basis for the Peter Cushing and Jack Palance segment of the same name in Amicus Films 1966 film 'Torture Garden' Directed by Freddie Francis.

  1. My best friend from school married Peter Cushing's nephew, so that's a good connection I think? Although divorced for many years now, she has kept the Cushing surname. So cool :)

  2. That has to be one of the best connections we've heard of so far...! We don't get to hear very much about Peter's family...and after his parents died neither did he! But thank you for sharing that...by the way, was there any family resemblance at all?
