SCI-FI BOYS (2005). Pretty good retrospective of the children of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine, including John Landis, Peter Jackson, Don Glut and others. Lots of Forrest J Ackerman footage also.
Like Jackson (and many others , I'm sure), I can remember my first FM vividly. In a short version, was in a TG&Y in Jonesboro Arkansas (Five and Dime Store) in probably early October 1969. It was Issue #59 with the great Basil Gogos cover of Barnabas Collins.. Was a big DARK SHADOWS fan, so got it strictly for that and became hooked for the next several years until all the STAR WARS coverage began-and was really more into music by that time anyway. Still, a great intro and despite the juvenile thrust FM often took, I remember that time fondly and certainly enjoying brewing a pot of coffee and poking through my many back issues. ***
