July 1957 issue
In July 1957 Cinéma dedicates an special issue to le cinéma fantastique with, on the cover, the mask of Lon Chaney, Jr. as werewolf.
Gérard Lenne called this "the first summary study" of horror and science fiction cinema.
The list of authors who contributed to this issue:
- Robert Benayoun
- Ado Kyrou
- Lotte H. Eisner (The Haunted Screen)
- Raymond Borde and Étienne Chaumeton, co-authors of Panorama du film noir américain
- Jean Boullet, a draughtsman (something between Cocteau and Tom of Finland) and horror film afficionado who afterwards became a frequent collaborator on Midi Minuit Fantastique
- André S. Labarthe, critic for the Cahiers du Cinéma and producer of the groundbreaking TV-series Cinéastes de notre temps.
- Jean-Louis Caussou
