I read Mark Frank's remarks in MIDNIGHT MARQUEE #37 (Fall 1988) and it isn't so much he thought horror films of the past weren't good for kids anymore, but - "...the genre is different now. Particularly the horror films. The studies no longer leave any room for doubt: it is quite clear that media violence contributes to a dangerous desensitization of violence among our young people. You can imagine how difficult it has been for me, as a (former?)fan, to come to terms with that particular piece of irrefutable reality.
But I will never forget all that fandom has meant to me, and all that it has given me. I'll always look back at the PHOTON years with great nostalgic fondness...And, yes, I must confess...I couldn't resist smiling when my daughter expressed an interest in watching KING KONG."
I think it would be a terrific idea if someone undertook to document the history of our fandom and fanzines, much as science fiction fandom has been covered. I actually considered it as early as 1969, putting an ad in GORE CREATURES. But it takes every bit of free time I can muster to just do one issue of LSoH a year (where do you people find the time to read and post so often on this website???). I'd love to do this book - but it is going to have to be someone else I'm afraid. I remember several issues of THE TERRATOID GUIDE from Claude Plum, in the '70's, that began to list all the fanzines; MONSTER MAGAZINE & FANZINE COLLECTOR'S GUIDE #2 has many of the covers reproduced (one of the great regrets of my very un-missed second wife/second marriage, was I sold off a vast amount of my fanzine collection to support her lifestyle. Well, it helped John M. Ballentine fill in a lot of gaps in his collection. But I really regret letting so many of those issues go.. I miss them more than I miss Espie, that is for darn sure).
