Forry was THE MAN. I started buying Famous Monsters of Filmland back in the late sixties. He had a great sense of humor and loved his horror movies. He also had the pleasure of meeting several big name horror actors. He is being missed.

God bless you Ackerman! Never had to the privilege to meet him I always wanted to travel to california for many things and see certain areas. He was one of the reasons because I always wanted to greet him and see the Ackermansion. Telling by the videos I watched of him he seemed like a real class act and a sweet man. At least he is with the great ones now.

One of my great heroes, and I regret I never had a chance to visit him and the Ackermansion, stuffed full of the wonderful things Uncle Forry found and saved for all of us.
I had one of the first subscriptions to FMOF (actually two, one copy remained unopened always), and treasure them still.
Forry was almost singlehandedly responsible for turning horror & scifi into a respectable genre by introducing our generation to it as an artform as well as entertainment. He was the "first collector" and the fine work in the field today is due in large part to one man -- our beloved Uncle Forry.
It's a shame the Ackermansion couldn't have been preserved as a museum, but much of it is being auctioned shortly by a company called Profiles In History, so those of us with a few bucks can buy a piece of Forry's history to preserve.
