Letters/Editorials

Wanna know how many times Fay Wray screamed in King Kong? Or who coined the term "Ackerman's Folly?" Or who was the first to find that LUCKY 7 in FM#7? How about the first loathe letter printed? This section contains those wonderful, dear to our heart, letters to the editor. I've indexed this section by the name of the person that wrote the letter, with a comment about the topic. Now, please folks, I didn't index all the letters from FM. I tried to concentrate only on those letters I found of particular interest, and those that triggered a response from either Forry or, in some cases, Jim Warren. I also found this section the most exciting to index because of those great comments like "how can I get one of those frightful Forrest J Ackerman masks" or "I think your magazine is the best one in the world." I tried to include letters and comments that seemed worthwhile, and in some cases, just down right funny. I tried to pick letters passing on information that you, the reader, may be interested in referencing.

A LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER--FM100, p.98. (James Warren reminisces his way through 99 prior issues of FM).

Ackerman, Forry (How To Hurt A Guy)--MW9, p.47. (Forry speaks out about a certain human he met on his 8700 mile trek across the country, and the inhumanness of human nature).

Adams, Mickey (A Great Thing For "The King")--FM46, p.77. (Mickey wrote to the Academy of Motion Pictures recommending an Oscar for Boris Karloff. Forry beseeches all readers to do the same).

Allocca, John H. (Chaney Challenge)--FM18, p.6. (Another in a long line of "I dare you to print this letter," questioning Chaney's acting abilities).

Alvarez, Ben (Complaint Dept.)--FM191, p.73. (Ben parallels FM with "another horror magazine which shall go nameless" and comes up with the conclusion that FM is the best source for older horror movies. Forry offers his last words).

Andrews, John (Route Sixty-Sick)--FM23,pgs.6-8. (Apparently, John did not like the show. Forry returns his criticism and defends his writing of the article).

Asimov, Robyn (Similar Questions Answered)--MW8, p.54. (Interesting question in retrospect: How long do you think you will edit your magazines?).

When I visited the Ackermansion for a weekend several years past, I had the extreme pleasure of having brunch with Bobbie, Frank, Forry and Wendy. Forry talks of other screams queens, and Bobbie too).

Caldwell, Taylor (Unfavorite Letter Of The Month)--MW4, p.4. (Taylor wants to know why? Why does MW hide the fact that Bela Lugosi was a dope addict? Forry comes to the aid of Bela).

Campbell, Donald--FM113, p.81. (Donald is upset about a number of things, from what constitutes horror, to the obits that FM publishes, to Forry asking for handouts from his readers. Forry tries to set him on the straight and narrow).

Cannon, Sean (Questions Answered)--FM164, p.65. (I feel sorry for Sean. Sean wanted some info on JUST IMAGINE, DR. X, and ONE MILLION B.C. Uncle Forry told him to see FM's 39,77,78, and 81. If anyone out there has FM's 77and 78 for sale, please contact me at your earliest convenience).

Dhuey, Steven (Icabod Crane Meets Shakespeare)--FM132, p.4. (The majority of letters in FM132 dealt directly with the Ron Leeds letter/article of FM130. Steven offers a wonderful point of view).

"Doubting Thomas" Letter--FM111,pgs.13-14. (This letter was not in the Fang Mail Department, but followed Paul Clemen's article about The Exorcist. "Doubting Thomas" praises the movie and condemns FM for "improper coverage." Forry adds his comments where appropriate).
