Cracked also liked to horn in on the occasionally on-going monster magazine craze, publishing its own horror-themed parody mag "For Monsters Only" before reviving the concept in the 1980s with "Cracked Monster Party." The publication's tenth issue (which has a cover date of October 1990) included portraits of Cracked mascot Sylvester P. Smythe as various monsters, including as Barnabas Collins. I think it's pretty nifty.
