Kreature Features #1: Halloween Nightmare Special

Premiere 66-page full-color print issue – Now available for store pre-order

Yo Crypt Squad, pure-blooded 70s, 80s and 90s monster kids, and horror fiends!

Straight from the Haunted Pizzeria Clubhouse comes the long-awaited premiere issue of Retrovania Land's Kreature Features — the ultimate 66-page full-color Halloween Nightmare Special dropping October 2026.

This isn’t just a magazine. It’s what happens when Nintendo Power, Fangoria, and Gorezone get dipped in radioactive ooze, re-animated with leftover pepperoni grease, and resurrected as the definitive 70s, 80s & 90s kid-culture entertainment guide. Thick premium stock cover, glossy full-color interiors, and pure pizza-powered nostalgia overload.

Cover art by legendary Goosebumps cover artist Tim Jacobus — that signature ’95 energy hits like a VHS tracking glitch straight to the soul. A green-skinned pizza-powered ghoul stomps down the porch steps with a sack full of pure October terror.

Inside this toxic masterpiece:

- Exclusive feature interview with director Tom Holland (the maestro behind Fright Night)

- Exclusive feature interview with legendary make-up effects artist Tony Gardner (Army of Darkness, The Blob, Return of the Living Dead, Hocus Pocus)

- Spotlight on Goosebumps cover king Tim Jacobus

- Spotlight on Burbank CA's 80s horror-themed gym Killer Fitness

- Deep retrospective on monster makeup FX / director maestro John Carl Buechler — the mad genius whose practical nightmares still melt faces. Cap’n Retrovania’s personal tribute covers Buechler’s legendary creature work and direction on Troll, the toilet-crawling demons of Ghoulies From Beyond, The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (including his darker unmade toxic-waste pitch), Friday the 13th Part VII, and more sticky, rubbery Empire Pictures magic that inspired a generation of latchkey monster kids

- Monster in My Pocket deep-dive

- Japanese Splatterhouse blood-soaked arcade-to-NES carnage

- Garbage Pail Kids gross-out glory

- The legendary Ghostbusters live-action stage show at Universal Studios Florida

- Saturday morning cartoon Graveyard High deep cut

- Homebrew Crypt spotlight on 8bitslasher and their underground 8-bit horror warlocks

- Plus haunted trick-or-treats, VHS nightmares, toxic toy vaults, and wall-to-wall pizza-powered latchkey nostalgia

Printed in full color on high-quality stock and ready to rule your coffee table (or CRT-lit basement) all spooky season long.

Limited premiere print run. Pre-order now for your store and lock in the Crypt Squad’s new #1 source for everything that made being a 70s/80s/90s monster kid the greatest timeline.

Stay radical. Stay spooky. S
