Happy St. Patrick's Day and also a Happy Easter Season to everyone with this, the first SS issue to almost fill a borderless cover with one photograph. Still counting in at 116 pages (including the front and back) this issue #14 concludes an interview with friend Curtis Harrington, and also includes interviews with John Waters, Robert Bloch, Ann Blyth, Barbara Shelley and of course, much, much more!

*I will always remember with great affection my evening with Mr. Harrington.

Thank you so much, Curtis, for a memory that I will cherish to the end.
