AckerMonster Chronicles, The! 2014 Rondo Award Best Documentary DVD New Sealed

Nudism. Esperanto. King Kong. "Sci-Fi." What do all of these things have in common? Simple: Forrest J Ackerman. Who is that?

Glad you asked. The late Ackerman was a literary agent, magazine editor and notable serial bit player. Known the world over as Uncle Forry, 4E, 4SJ, Dr. Acula, and numerous other pseudonyms (a few none too kind).

So what? Well you should know that many of the things you love and the people you admire (for the most part!) think of Forry as a treasure trove of knowledge and enthusiasm! Be it horror, science fiction, or fantasy he has been there, done that, seen it done or turned away from it!

His clients were a who's who of genre delights: Charles Beaumont, A. E. Van Vogt, William F. Nolan, Curt Siodmak, and L. Ron Hubbard to mention but a few. His friends span far and wide, be they slobbering sci-fi neophytes or the likes of Ray Harryhausen, Ray Bradbury, and John Landis.

Forry is embedded in the culture of film, fantasy and science fiction. A self-made fan, he has been an institution and fixture living in various incarnations of his own personal museum, the AckerMansion in Hollyweird, Karloffornia for almost a century... Like Dracula, the Mummy and Frankenstein's Monster, he lives on...
