FM has been the reading companions of many great names today,and some of those letters sent in to FM's Fang Mail Dept are now active forces in the horror/sci-fi field.People like stephen king who sent a short story into Famous Monsters when he was 13.It has been the inspiration for young monster makers all over the world,special fx men known & unknown,actors & actresses dying to get into movies.
Forry has rubbed shoulders with them,people like Vincent Price,Peter Cushing,Christopher Lee and hundreds more.Names many of us today will not know or remember,but stars of yesteryear.
Find out about the old classics,the movies that started it all.How many people today can say they saw Lon Chaney in the Phantom of the opera,a silent from 1925 or London after Midnight where there is not known to be a single complete copy in existence.
And prices...gosh,I saw a FM#14 go for over $1600 US not long ago! Pristine copy tho,absolutely mint!So are they worth anything? You bet!But as always,when it comes to collecting mags or comics,condition is everything!
Anyway enough rambling.This site is dead-icated to Mr Monster himself,you know,FJA,Forry,Forrest J Ackerman,Mr Sci-Fi,the Ackermonster,Dr.Acula!! The creator of Famous Monsters of Filmland!
So I say it again (just like Forry did again in Feb 1985 when he brought out Monsterland)...Welcome Monster Lovers!
Yours Eeriely,
Brother Monster
