This is Thrilling Wonder Stories for October 1947, cover by Earle Bergey. The ISFDB entry for this issue is here.

The reference of my title snark is obscure. It’s this oddly-compelling 1974 Cajunsploitation movie, which the boys at the the Grindbin Podcast sent up back in March 2017.

I extracted this version of the cover from the issue as preserved at the Internet Archive. This issue also has at least two Virgil Finlay illustrations on inside pages, one illustrating Frederick Pohl’s “Donovan Had a Dream:”

And another illustrating Leslie Charteris’s “The Darker Drink:”
