Rest In Peace, Uncle Forry

Basil Gogos' Karloff Frankenstein cover - this and much of Gogos' work

was featured on the cover of Famous Monsters of Filmland.

For any of my fellow classic horror fans out there, Forrest J. Ackerman, who brought us Famous Monsters of Filmland and a new level of love and appreciation for classic and modern horror, died at the age of 92. Brother D over at Mail Order Zombie has some links, and I believe a brief podcast dedicated to him (I haven't downloaded this week's iTunes yet). You can also check out the LA Times obit here.





I'm sure right now, he's having a drink in the Great Beyond with Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, and Elsa Lanchester. Rest in Peace, Uncle Forry.
