Martel, James (Better Dead Than Read)--FM180, p.4. (FORRY ISN'T DEAD?! WHO SAYS SO?! Master Martel must've gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, implying that our lifeless leader should retire and draw unemployment [i've seen 4e draw and suffice it to say he should stick to writing]. Our "egotistical, noriety-seeking, name-dropping" deaditor translates from the grave).

Letters/Editorials

Taylor, Frank (Son Of Doubting Thomas)--FM24,pgs.4,6,7. (In regards to the letter from Sam Thorpe, this letter from Frank may very well be one of the shortest printed, but did it ever trigger Forry's typewriter! The letter goes as follows: "How can you prove you were the first filmonster magazine? Another horror movie magazine says you only think you were first." Forry's response regarding Calvin Thomas Beck and his Castle Of Frankenstein is priceless). --(Castle Of Frankenstein Revisited)--FM26,pgs.72,76. (Forry continues where he left off in FM24).

Thorpe, Bob (Taken To Task, But Not Guilty)--FM176, p.73. (Bob is an unhappy camper in Fangmail campground because of FM's reporting on new films without having seen them. Forry, part-time editor of NOOSEWEAK Magazine, slips out of the knot).

Thorpe, Sam (Carnivorous Correspondence, Or, A Meaty Letter)-- FM24,pgs.4,6,7. (This could possibly be one of the longest letters FM published, apparently spawned by the "Dante's Inferno" article. He goes as far to "entreat" us to boycott Herman Cohen films).

Traube, Kevin (Editor Lying?)--FM111, p.97. (Bela Lugosi's Dracula Cape(s) is (are) alive and well and living in the museum that Forry built).

Vick, Benny (Telephone Call To The Haunted Castle)--FM17, p.6. (Benny shares his phone conversation with Bill Castle).

Westcott, D. (Smoked Out Of The Time Vault)--SM6, p.4. (D. discusses the "World Of Tomorrow" foto-card series, and believes Forry created the term "Sci-Fi." Forry dollops).

Woods, Robert (The Clown At Mud Night)--FM20, p.6. (Another response to Robert Bloch's earlier articles concerning horror).

Y. Sandra (Our Greatest Pan Letter)--FM15, p.6. (This letter had a lot of "censored" words in it and it appears that Sandra Y. was thoroughly disturbed with her purchase of FM. Oh well...she dared them to print it...).

Yakey, Wm. (Treasures From The Time Vault)--SM5, p.4. (William shares with us some rare cards that were issued with packs of cigarettes from around 1935. The cards originated in England and were found in Mitchell's Cigarettes. Forry clues us to whom the artists were).

Ziers, Rick (Kong Curiosity)--FM148, p.4. (Rick makes a curious find in the still of the censored spider way back in FM108 [and before that, newcomers]. Forry tells what it is).
