Our Slice of SciFi Show #078, ready for download on October 11, 2006, looks at the monsters of horror and the man who made it his lifelong work to know and collect every article and tidbit of information on the genre. In his nearly century of living, our special guest has become the flesh and blood walking encyclopedia of Horror facts and fiction.
Interview: Legendary SF fan and horror movie memorabilia collector Forrest J Ackerman joins Michael and Summer to tell us about the golden age of monster movies. He regales us with his recollections of meeting the famous actors who brought the monsters to life, the Golden Age studio heads, how Vampirella came to be, his opinions on what Hollywood’s calling horror these days, and more.
You can read his latest literary contribution, the foreward to MONSTERS: A Celebration of the Classics from Universal Studios, a coffee table retrospective that every horror/monster movie fan should check out.
This is one show you will not want to miss.
