FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND

One of the great magazines to reach its biggest peak during the Monster Craze of the mid 1960s was Warren's FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND. Created by Forrest J. Ackerman, the publication began its run back in 1958 as a one shot issue but it went into a second printing due to popular demand and soon enough it turned into a monthly, bi-monthly and annual periodical.


FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND Number One

Every Halloween season, I dust off my small collection of FM magazines and browse through those ancient pages which even now, still appear informative and entertaining.
