Well, he had a great life and I will always remember Famous Monsters with a great deal of fondness. It was a great source for all those wonderful full page pics of Karloff as Frankenstien’s monster or maybe a good publicity shot from Creature From The Black Lagoon.

Sometimes I do miss being 12 years old.

RIP Forry.

Me too! I had the monster movie bug bad and read and reread many an issue of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND as well as some of its competition like CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN and MONSTER MANIA. I even sent off for some back issues.

BTW, I caught Lon Chaney, Jr. in OF MICE AND MEN the other day with a very young Burgess Meredith and was impressed by it.

Sad to say, I think that Forry was secretly a Democrat. I mean, he was printing all of those photos of Henry Waxman going back to the magazine's earliest days...
