I have been so busy I didn't hear about Forrest J
Ackerman passing away on
Thursday. He was 92 years old and known by many as Uncle
Forry. He truly was the original
Fanboy.
His magazine, Famous Monsters of
Filmland, went a long way in revitalizing the horror genre and introducing monsters to a new generation of fans. I had a subscription to the re-vamped "Famous Monsters" years ago, but of course it wasn't as good as the original. I am glad that
Forry had the chance to see the kick ass tribute that Rue Morgue did for him in the last Halloween issue.
