  Weird Tales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weird Tales was an American fantasy fiction and horror pulp magazine first published in March of 1923.
Weird Tales always struggled financially and, like most pulp magazines including the similarly legendary crime fiction title Black Mask, suffered competition from comic books, radio drama, and eventually inexpensive paperback books.
Weird Tales was revived under license by publisher/editors George H. Scithers, John Gregory Betancourt, and Darrell Schweitzer in 1988, beginning with issue 290.

 The Horror Section : Weird Tales   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
First published March 1923, WEIRD TALES began because J.C. Henneberger wanted "to give the writer free rein to express his innermost feelings in a manner befitting great literature." A rocky start turned solid when the pulp rag started publishing the master of the supernatural, H.P. Lovecraft.

 Robert Bloch -- Essays -- Mr. Weird Tales
If you were to ask a group of fans of the famed pulp magazine Weird Tales who was the most popular author ever to write for that magazine, you would probably get as many different answers as there were people in that gathering.
Bloch wrote for Weird Tales from 1935 on, and was always loyal to that magazine, even during the last years when it was barely making it.
Weird Tales" and that author is Robert Bloch.

The covers of Weird Tales featured some of the most striking fantasy and horror art ever created and it was within its pages that the genius of artists like Virgil Finlay, Hannes Bok and Lee Brown Coye found early expression and flourished.

 The Ramones: Weird Tales of the Ramones: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The tale of the Ramones is as sad as it is weird.
And perhaps their lack of mainstream success during their lifetimes ensured a larger and posthumous triumph: in the thirty years since their debut, several generations of listeners have connected with their music in a very personal way without the interference of institutionalized nostalgia.
Weird Tales makes it possible for future generations of pinheads, dropouts, glue-sniffers, brats, cretins, mama's boys, and punk-punk-punk rockers to discover the Ramones as if for the very first time.

 Weird Tales
Although Weird Tales is known as "the magazine that never dies", it is not for lack of trying!
In 1994, however, the curse of Weird Tales struck again - Scithers and Schweitzer were only licensing the name from the copyright owner, and this licensing ran into "various legal, as well as financial, problems" as a result of which the title reverted to the owner.
After a comparatively brief hiatus of only two years, a new publisher managed to arrange a new deal with the copyright owner and Weird Tales re-appeared, still with Scithers and Schweitzer at the helm.

 St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Weird Tales
Weird Tales was in publication until 1954 and was most successful during the 1930s under the editorship of Farnsworth Wright.
Henneberger identified that there were quality writers who were unable to place their stories in the mixed-genre magazines of the early 1920s and presumed that there was an audience for stories that were weird and macabre.
She also featured the work of Ray Bradury and Fritz Leiber, but during this time Weird Tales was competing with a larger number of available outlets for fantasy writing.

 Amazon.ca: Music: Weird Tales   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Weird Tales is inspired top to bottom, whether on the four-song streak of ragged rock that fronts the disc or the singular moments that follow, like the strangely soul-funky "Keys," Jeff Tweedy's Woody Guthrie-ized "Please Tell My Brother," or Kraig Johnson's "Making Waves," a crushing story of suicide behind the bathroom door.
Including new Smogger Jody Stephens (ex-Big Star drummer), Weird Tales is an emotion-rich trip of Midwestern rock tones, loaded with both individual spirit and collective vision.
Not so with Golden Smog's superb "Weird Tales." The two heavy hitters among the the Smog's lineup are Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and The Jayhawks' Gary Louris, and it is to them that many of the best moments on the album can be attributed.

 Hellboy: Weird Tales #5 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
I enjoyed all of the stories in Hellboy Weird Tales #5, but the story I enjoyed the most was 'Love is Scarier than Death".
Besides the fact that Agent Granger and Hellboy waited for a long period of time for the Goatman to show up, it was plain weird that they referred themselves as bait for this monster.
Being bait, could lead to their demise, well maybe not for Hellboy, but for Agent Granger it was a life threatening assignment, since 6 kids have died because of this monstrosity.

 Fictionwise eBooks: The Best of Weird Tales: 1923 by John Gregory Betancourt & Marvin Kaye   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Throughout its long, interrupted history from 1923 to the present, Weird Tales has consistently presented the best (and worst) genre literature, from grisly murder stories through dark and light fantasy to occasional science-fiction, and has continued to feature a host of the finest category and "mainstream" writers living and dead.
I did manage to spend a large chunk of allowance (thirty-five cents!) on the September 1954 Weird Tales, not realizing it would be the last issue to be published until Leo Margulies revived "The Unique Magazine" nineteen years later.
The thirteen tales I chose represent some of the best--and often, some of the least-known--tales to appear in the first year of "The Unique Magazine." At least one piece from each issue has been included.

 The White Hands and Other Weird Tales by Mark Samuels, published by Tartarus Press
The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel.
Samuels articulates brilliantly what modern man secretly fears most about death: not that it is extinction, but that it is an eternity in which the utter meaningless of life is fully revealed.
Samuels may be the best of the lot, if this excellent collection of weird fiction tales from Tartarus Press is any indication.

The continuity of this film is a little scattershot, which is contributable either to the age of the print available [and whether its complete] or simply that the story is just a plain jumble.
