FM #250: A Famous Monster in Filmland!
Posted by Michael in Books, Home Page Top Story, Latest News, Movies, Press on May 6th, 2010
Over 50 years and 249 issues (give or take!) in the making! Famous Monsters of Filmland is proud to present, for your entertainment, the sometimes inspiring and sometimes shocking, at turns awe-inducing and yet occasionally quite absurd, remarkable yet for the most part obscure, not-entirely-true history of perhaps the greatest (or at least one of the most ubiquitous) cameo and walk-on performers of all time: Forrest J Ackerman!
This special celebratory issue of FM is devoted to discussion of dozens of cinematic classics (and not-so-classics) from several decades of filmmaking — all seemingly unconnected, yet linked forever in fandom’s minds and hearts by the presence (however unnoticed) of the unforgettable Ackermonster. We’re talking Dracula vs. Frankenstein, Queen of Blood, Kentucky Fried Movie, the 1976 production of King Kong, Equinox, Return of the Living Dead Part 2, and many, many (too many?) more!
Our tongue-in-cheek salute to our Uncle Forry’s illustrious film career will close out the previous era of FM and point the way to the new. Join us, won’t you? Now available for ordering in our online store!
Discuss FM #250 in the official Famous Monsters of Filmland Forum!
NOTE: FM will be honoring all legitimate orders for FM #250 placed with Filmland Classics through March 31, 2010. Please see this page for more information. This issue will not ship before June 21, 2010.
