ACKERMANIA
starring Forry Ackerman
Wow! If you grew up reading the
quintessential monster mag FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND?
Then you definitely know who Forry Ackerman is! But even
if you're too young or just missed the Ultimate SF Fan of
All Time as editor of the most famous monster movie publication
in history (sorry FANGORIA!)? ACKERMANIA
is just the treat for you!
ACKERMANIA is a
look at the formative years of SF, fantasy and horror filmmaking
in Horror-wood. Forry Ackerman hosts in a fire-side (as
in Hell!) chat and relates personal anecdotes re: all things
movieland about monsters, aliens, special effects and related
areas. And Forry would know -- his Ackermansion in Hollywood
was once considered a "must stop" for all up and
comers in the fantasy film biz.
Shot in his former Los Feliz mansion
(Forry would greet each visitor outside his home with a
hidden speaker in a gargoyle's mouth from which he intoned,
"Who DARES invade the domain of the Ackermansion?!"),
this intimate, informal and informative clip-laden overview
of filmmaking is a true fan's dream.
As a fantasy film expert once said
of Forry: "If Forry hadn't existed? It would have been
necessary for us to invent him!" Definitely don't miss
this rarity -- ACKERMANIA -- especially
if you grew up on the old classics (from which he shows
many segments in old trailers and snippets). Forry may be
Old Ghoul School, but he's still the Headmaster of Horror!
